n Circles; they can defend against attacks, defeat enemies, and even confine them. This is a pair—one for me and one for my sister. To unleash the maximum power, we need to use both the Qian Ring and...Chapter 653: Giving Gifts More Gracefully Than Others~~

"Little Su, you're also up" Grandma smiled as she saw Su Han appear.

Su Han gave a slight smile and padded softly down to the living room on the first floor in her slippers.

Boxinguan was amazed when he saw Su Han. He never expected there to be another beauty hiding at home. This Su Han, he had seen before; she was one of Hao Ren's lecturers at his school and several years older than him. Due to her excellent grades, she stayed on to teach.

Yue Yang noticed Boxinguan staring at Su Han and squeezed Boxinguan's waist hard as a warning. His waist was squeezed twice in quick succession; the skin there started turning slightly blue from the pressure.

"Grandma, good morning," Su Han greeted Grandma with a slight nod when she reached her side.

"It’s great you’re up and about. We’ll have breakfast soon," Grandma said happily.

Originally, in this living room, Zhen Fei's brilliance overshadowed everyone else. But the moment Su Han appeared, a similar aura pressed back.

Grandma felt that after a night’s rest, Su Han looked even more charming and beautiful; however, she didn’t notice that Zhen Fei and Su Han’s auras had already subtly clashed with each other.

Zhen Fei glanced at Su Han and was slightly surprised by her presence.

The last time they met, Su Han had only been in the upper tier of the Heaven Rank realm. But now, she seemed to be on the verge of breaking through to the peak Heaven Rank level.

Su Han was still very young; if she kept up this pace, perhaps she would reach the Dragon Realm before turning thirty

Once one reached the Dragon Realm, they could compete with her evenly, so Zhen Fei no longer underestimated Su Han.

"Would you like some tea" Xie Yujia boiled water in the kitchen and brought cups of tea to the living room.

Lulinnin and Luli hurried over to help. Su Han and Zhen Fei looked at each other, then sat down on the sofa side by side.

In this small villa, besides Zhen Fei, Su Han was the strongest person present.

The Demon Sea, Dragon God Palace, East China Sea Dragon Palace... almost all major forces were gathered here.

"Why didn't your smart dad come" Grandma asked Zhen Fei as she sipped her tea.

"He has some matters to attend to and can’t leave," Zhen Fei replied gracefully, holding her cup of tea.

"Even on the Mid-Autumn Festival He's busy. Well, let’s invite him over when we have a chance next time," Grandma said with a chuckle.

Hao Ren sweat-dropped; he knew that Zhen Fei’s mother had already stirred up chaos in the immortal cultivation holy land of Kunlun Mountain, and her father was probably even more formidable. Yet, his grandmother still invited him to visit their home… "Sure, when he's not so busy, we’ll come over," Zhen Fei said cheerfully.

"Great!" Grandma nodded happily.

She wasn’t particularly interested in the dull Danyao, but she had a good impression of Zhen Fei.

Hao Ren watched them chatting and decided that Zhen Fei’s family would visit their home on another occasion; he could only stare dumbfoundedly.

"Why didn’t you come back yesterday" Grandma looked at the dazed-looking Zhen Fei, stroking his rosy cheeks as she asked.

Today, Zhen Fei did look somewhat absent-minded—mainly because he missed Wu Luoxue.

Yesterday, he had taken advantage of Mayor Wu coming to pick up Wu Luoxue and stayed at her home. But today, since Wu Luoxue was away with her parents visiting their grandparents elsewhere, he could only return home.

On the way back, she was caught by her mother and went to HAO Ren's house together.

"Huh" Upon hearing his grandmother's inquiry, he suddenly came to his senses but didn't know what she had asked him.

"Ahoy, our smartie has lost his soul; is he thinking about Little Snow!" His grandmother teased.

ZHEN Mingcong blushed when his grandmother hit the nail on the head. "I… I'm not!"

However, the more he denied it, the more obvious it became that this was his true heart.

In fact, there were enough girls in school who actively pursued ZHEN Mingcong to fill a whole class on their own. But ZHEN Mingcong liked WU Luoxue, and even he couldn't explain why.

WU Luoxue was skilled in calligraphy, music, chess, and painting, but she wasn’t much of a talker. She was very intelligent, though... If you were to say天真可愛活潑漂亮, she might not be better than other girls.

The whole school knew that he liked WU Luoxue from the neighboring class and also that ZHEN Mingcong often stayed overnight at her place. This caused many troubles for WU Luoxue—some even had girls talking to WU Luoxue alone, asking her to break up with ZHEN Mingcong... HAO Ren glanced at ZHEN Fei when she mentioned Little Snow.

To his surprise, ZHEN Fei was smiling faintly and seemed unconcerned about ZHEN Mingcong liking a little girl.

He suddenly looked into XIE Yujia's room and thought of DUAN Yao. Did ZHEN Fei take DUAN Yao as an apprentice to pre-select her as his daughter-in-law Bang!

The door to XIE Yujia’s room opened again.

Wearing a colorful robe, ZHAO Yanzi came out proudly, while ANGRY SEGUE FOLLOWING BEHIND HER WAS DUAN Yao in ZHAO Yanzi's light blue school uniform.

ZHAO Yanzi had dragged DUAN Yao into her room earlier; no one knew how she interrogated her, but suddenly, DUAN Yao’s beautiful clothes were on ZHAO Yanzi.

"Haha, you two are really naughty, playing dress-up," the grandmother said with a smile when she saw ZHAO Yanzi and DUAN Yao.

ZHAO Yanzi in her colorful ancient-style high-waist robe looked particularly beautiful. Wearing ZHAO Yanzi's school uniform, DUAN Yao looked quite good as well, but clearly didn’t like the clothes; she kept swaying awkwardly from side to side.

"Grandma! She wanted to swap with me!" ZHAO Yanzi rushed over to her grandmother happily.

"This dress is really pretty," said his grandmother with a nod of satisfaction.

ZHAO Yanzi usually wore modern beautiful clothes, so when she occasionally wore ancient-style dresses like this, it naturally made her look very cute and adorable.

DUAN Yao walked to ZHEN Fei with an aggrieved expression. The spiritual energy in her body had been washed away by ZHEN Fei; at the moment, she was just a normal person who couldn’t fight back against ZHAO Yanzi.

Looking at them, HAO Ren could tell that ZHAO Yanzi must have bullied DUAN Yao when dragging her into the room because otherwise, those clothes wouldn't be on her. However, considering she had lent her school uniform to DUAN Yao instead of letting her wear pajamas back into the living room, it was still somewhat considerate.

"Isn't it pretty" ZHAO Yanzi walked up to HAO Ren, lifted both hands as if performing a ballet dance and twirled around.

Her figure fit well in this set of clothes like DUAN Yao’s; spinning gracefully, the skirt fluttered beautifully.

"Pretty! Pretty!" HAO Ren nodded helplessly.

The grandmother saw ZHAO Yanzi showing off to HAO Ren and knew that she cared about him most. She smiled.

ZHAO Yanzi immediately turned to YUAN Yang and HAO Zhonghua, lively as a little butterfly.

HAO Ren moved his gaze slightly, looking at the school-uniformed DUAN Yao beside ZHEN Fei. Suddenly, he thought that DUAN Yao was kind of pitiable; she was the same age as ZHAO Yanzi but couldn't go to school and hadn't seen any city life or colorful world.

Segment Yao, who was sitting next to Zhen Fei, saw Hao Ren glance over and was momentarily stunned before immediately glaring angrily at him.

She had been sent away from the Heavenly Mountain Sect by her father and felt utterly despondent. She had given up on ever returning there. In Mystic Peak, when she witnessed Hao Ren's strength, she admired him somewhat and thought about following him, but to her surprise, Hao Ren didn't want her at all; he completed the array formation and then cast her out of Mystic Peak—so Segment Yao's hatred for Hao Ren was absolutely deep-rooted. If Zhen Fei hadn't taken her in, perhaps she would have died on the fifth level.

Seeing the furious look in Segment Yao’s eyes, Hao Ren felt a sudden chill and quickly looked away.

"If Little Purple likes them, Auntie will send you a few sets back," Zhen Fei said when she saw Zhao Yanzi's excited expression.

"Great!" Zhao Yanzi immediately agreed. After some thought, she added, "Thank you, Auntie!"

Zhen Fei gave a faint smile that exuded charm and grace.

Segment Yao gritted her teeth as she watched Zhao Yanzi but didn't dare to do anything to her.

"Speaking of which, besides the mooncakes, I’ve brought some small gifts this time." Zhen Fei looked at Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua before taking out two small boxes from a bag beside her.

She opened the first box; inside were two diamond rings. Under the room's lighting, the diamonds on the rings shone brightly, reflecting dazzling light that was almost blinding.

"Hao Ren’s parents have been taking care of Qianming for me, and I can’t do anything to repay them, so I’ve prepared these two rings as a token of my gratitude," she said while placing the box in Hao Zhonghua's hands.

"This…" Hao Zhonghua was shocked into silence.

“And Grandmother has treated Qianming like her own child, nurturing and educating him with great care; I am also very moved by this. Here’s one for you," Zhen Fei said as she opened another box.

The second box contained a gemstone ring. The silver band was simple yet elegant, but the emerald on top had a vivid green color that shimmered and sparkled like the most precious gemstone—emerald.

Yue Yang, with her professional knowledge in mineral identification and some basic understanding of jewelry appraisal, could tell just by looking at it without any specialized equipment that this "emerald" was extremely valuable. It would likely cost more than a hundred thousand dollars!

The diamond pair of rings were each as precious as large single-stone rings. If they were genuine diamonds and if sold at the internal price in jewelry stores, they couldn’t be bought for less than a hundred thousand dollars!

But since Zhen Fei was giving these gifts, she certainly wouldn't give fake ones. She casually handed out two "small gifts" worth more than 200,000 yuan, which was indeed an extravagant gesture.

"These are too valuable; we can’t accept them," Hao Zhonghua quickly refused when he saw the diamond rings were extremely precious.

When Zhen Fei said she would give a small gift earlier, he had been ready to accept it happily. He often lived abroad where families usually exchanged gifts as a normal practice.

However, he never expected that Zhen Fei was giving diamond rings and an emerald gemstone ring!

"We all like Qianming very much, but these gifts are too expensive," Yue Yang also hurriedly said.

If it had been something ordinary, they would have accepted them as a courtesy exchange. But this was worth over a hundred thousand dollars; Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua definitely wouldn't accept such valuable items.

They knew Zhen Qianming was a distant relative of Zhao Guang's family and that his family’s condition should be decent, but they hadn’t expected it to be so wealthy.

Zhen Fei noticed Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua's firm refusal. She didn't force them; instead, she gave a faint smile and took the two diamond rings from Hao Zhonghua, handing them over to Lu L琳琳 and 陸莉莉 (Note: The names should be translated as Lu Lingling and Lu Lili for continuity if these are specific characters' names).

"These go to you two little girls."

She made it sound like she was giving away some insignificant trinkets.

Moving her slender fingers slightly, before Lu Lingling and Lu Lili could react, Zhen Fei slipped the rings onto their fingers!

Protective magical treasures!

The Lu sisters, after putting on the rings, felt a transparent layer of Vajra barrier floating around them!

Raising their long slender fingers to look at the diamond engagement rings, they all seemed very happy with them.

Hao Zhonghua thought it was not quite right for the Lu sisters to receive such gifts, but as the sisters were not his daughters, he could not scold them about this.

"Grandma, this is my sincere gesture of affection. Please accept this gift, I feel very close to you at first sight," Zhen Fei turned around and persuaded her grandma.

"This… " the grandma was hesitant for a moment before nodding suddenly. "Alright!"

The emerald ring she saw on the first glance was something that she liked instantly. It was just that the ring looked extremely expensive, so it felt awkward to accept such an expensive gift at their first meeting.

However, as Zhen Fei’s intentions were sincere and her grandma truly liked this ring, she did not refuse but accepted the emerald ring from her. Grandma treated Zhen Mingguang like a grandson, so this emerald ring could be passed down to him in the future.

"Haha, Grandma is really generous," Zhen Fei carefully picked up Grandma’s hand and personally put on the ring for her.

Hao Ren looked at the scene with surprise. To have a demon emperor serve his grandma was quite extraordinary!

Grandma wearing the emerald ring, the green gemstone reflecting calm light, complimented her age well. Grandma, who was just an ordinary grandma before, suddenly looked very luxurious.

Hao Ren carefully examined the ring and gradually felt that it exuded a thick aura of spirituality—it actually turned out to be a spiritual treasure!

What was called a spiritual treasure was a kind of magic weapon that could function on its own without the cultivator’s control. Like this emerald ring, there must have been very powerful formations laid in it. As long as Grandma wore the ring, no ordinary cultivators would dare to hurt her!

"Hehe… Old hag remembers Xiao Zhen’s good intention," said Grandma, stroking the ring contentedly.

Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua looked at Grandma speechlessly. As she was their elder, they could not say much even if she accepted a gift from Zhen Fei.

Hao Ren saw through it though—Zhen Fei’s intention was to give these rings to the Lu sisters and Grandma in the first place. She just went through with some formalities because he knew his parents wouldn’t accept them anyway.

"Little Purple, since you like this dress so much, I’ll just give it to you then. Yao only wore it for half a day," Zhen Fei looked at Zhao Yanzǐ and narrowed her eyes into a slightly seductive smile as she spoke.

“Eh” Zhao Yanzǐ was quite surprised; she had just wanted to try it on, not expecting that Zhen Fei would give it to her right away.

Hearing what Zhen Fei said, Duàn Yáo’s expression turned slightly reluctant. This colorful robe wasn’t only pretty—it was actually a set of seven-color treasure clothes!

Gold could not break through them, wood couldn't grow through them, water couldn’t seep through, fire couldn't penetrate and soil wouldn’t stick! It just looked good when wearing it normally, but its true strength would be evident in battle.

"Alright then, thank you auntie!" Zhao Yanzǐ responded.

Zhen Fei said she would give her a few sets of clothes, but Zhao Yanzǐ didn’t have that kind of patience. She was like a customer at the mall who wouldn’t wait for an item to go on sale before buying it.

It happened to be Mid-Autumn Festival; having a new dress made her quite happy too, so she didn't care if it had originally belonged to Duàn Yáo.

Duàn Yáo felt slightly angry but knew that Master would compensate her with something better when he got back, so she swallowed her anger for now.

"Hmm… Let me see what else I have," the generous Zhen Fei thought to herself as she gave out several gifts. Then seeing that Xie Yujia and Su Han hadn't received any of her "small presents", she rummged through her bag.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, a few streaks of light flew across the sea outside the villa as if being swept by the wind. Su Han was very sensitive and looked out of the window.

"I suddenly thought of something I need to do. I’ll be back soon," Zhen Fei helplessly pursed her lips, picking up her oil paper umbrella. "Su Han, could you go with me", "Yu Jia should also give her family a heads-up.""Okay, okay!" Not having to go home meant avoiding homework, so Zhao Yanzǐ was very willing and immediately pulled out her phone.Xie Yujiā didn't want...
