After Zhou Hao returned, the huge boulder that pressed down on Zhao Yuqin's heart was gone.

She suddenly became cheerful and immediately informed Yan Tong and the others about Li Ruolan's safe return.

Back then, when Zhou Hao had gotten into danger and disappeared, Zhao Yuqin had planned to keep it a secret from Yan Tong, but as the days of Zhou Hao's disappearance grew longer and longer, it became impossible to hide it any longer.

When Yan Tong heard about this, she immediately fainted. Fortunately, she had Zhao Yuqin to take care of him.

After waking up, Yan Tong and Zhao Yuqin stayed at Qiu Ning Shan's place to bitterly wait for news of Zhou Hao.

It was also two days ago that the exhausted Yan Tong had finally been persuaded to return by Zhao Yuqin and promised to immediately notify her once there was any news on Zhou Hao.

When Yan Tong heard Zhou Hao's voice on the phone, he was already speechless. On the other hand, Zhou Hao was also crying.

Yan Tong was about to rush over to Qiu Ning Shan's side to meet Zhou Hao, but it was already close to evening.

Furthermore, Zhou Hao didn't want his mother, who had long been exhausted from thinking about him, to rush over like this, so he told Yan Tong that she would stay the night and that he would rush back early tomorrow morning.

As for Li Ruolan, she was not a native of Xiang City, so the moment her parents learned that she was in danger, they immediately rushed over from the outside.

They also stayed at the foot of the mountain for more than a week before being persuaded to return. They temporarily stayed at Li Ruolan's teacher's dormitory. Now that they found out that Li Ruolan had returned safely, the two elders also cried tears of joy.

But Li Ruolan was the same as Zhou Hao. She would stay the night here, and only return with the Fifth Company's soldiers tomorrow morning.

That night, Zhao Yuqin invited the Fifth Company of 90 + soldiers to this small inn to have a good meal.

On one hand, it was to thank them for helping him for more than half a month. On the other hand, it was to celebrate the safe return of Zhou Hao and Li Ruolan.

The soldiers of the fifth company were very enthusiastic. They continuously toasted the two who had survived the calamity. Those were all rice wine with a high degree of quantity.

Li Ruolan was also a weak girl, how could she endure it?

Zhou Hao, who didn't want to make it difficult for Li Ruolan, had decided to take down her share.

However, his body had been transformed by the Amber fruit and he had also cultivated the "Qi Nurturing Record". He did not blush even after drinking a dozen or twenty cups of white wine, but he still went to the toilet more times.

Finally, everyone returned to their rooms.

After taking a bath in his own room, Zhou Hao half laid on the bed and flipped open the《 Shen Nong's Herbal Classic s》.

Previously, the Dr Gongsun had taught some of the contents to Zhou Hao in the cave. According to the records of the《 Shen Nong's Herbal Classic》, the various herbs had different effects on treating various diseases.

However, it also said that the drug was a third of poison, and the drug only had an external effect. The ultimate goal was to stimulate the body's anti-disease function, and in the end, it still had to rely on the person themselves.

According to "The Shen Nong's Herbal Classic", the best medicine to fight diseases was the human body's vital energy. When the vital energy was abundant and flourished, it could prevent a hundred diseases from invading the body.

Zhou Hao thought that the Essence inside was probably the Genuine Aura that he had so far.

Flipping through《 Shen Nong's Herbal Classic》, Zhou Hao suddenly thought of Dr Gongsun, and he wondered how he was doing right now.

"Why don't we grab some wine to drink to our heart's content and take our leave?" Zhou Hao said to himself.

Thus, he picked up the two bottles of white spirits and ran out of the hotel towards the Qiu Ning Mountain.

He quickly found the tree hole, only to find that it had already been sealed shut by the sand and gravel. Looking at the sealed cave entrance, Zhou Hao felt a little sad and lonely.

Because there was no earthquake in Qiushan, the sand and stones were clearly man-made, and that person could only be the Dr Gongsun.

Perhaps he had already left Mount Qiu Ning, or perhaps he was still in the cave. However, no matter what the possibilities were, it indicated that he did not wish to see Zhou Hao.

Since that was the case, Zhou Hao did not force the issue. He looked at the sealed hole and said softly, "Goodbye, Old Man."

Returning to the hotel, Zhou Hao found Zhao Yuqin waiting for him in his room.

"Xiao Hao, where did you go?" Seeing that Zhou Hao had returned, Zhao Yuqin immediately walked over and held his hand, and said nervously: "Big sister is afraid that you have disappeared again."

She had just experienced a separation before, so she was really afraid that she would lose Zhou Hao again.

"I'm going up the mountain." Zhou Hao said.

"It's already so late, what are you doing up at Mount Autumn?" Zhao Yuqin pulled Zhou Hao to the side of the bed.

"Sister Zhao, do you know how I survived this time?" Zhou Hao suddenly asked her.

Zhao Yuqin shook his head, "I was waiting for you to tell me, Company Commander Hao only said that you were trapped in a cave."

"Actually, I was lying." Thus, Zhou Hao told Zhao Yuqin about how she met Meng Tingguo that day, and how she encountered the landslide, and how she fainted. He even told him about how she met the Dr Gongsun in the cave.

She could not let others know about her encounters in the cave, but Zhao Yuqin was not an outsider, and Zhou Hao had always been very frank with her.

didn't dare to tell her about raping Li Ruolan in the cave.

Zhou Hao said: "I was just about to go see Old Man, but he didn't want to see me, so I came back."

"That means Xiao Hao, you're already like those Martial Arts Master s?" Zhao Yuqin said.

"No wonder your body changed so much. I didn't think that there would be such a magical thing as a Amber fruit in this world. I'm afraid even aunty wouldn't recognize you now."

Zhou Hao laughed, "The so called Mother and Child's hearts are linked, Mother will definitely recognize me, unlike you, who can't even recognize me when you are standing in front of me."

"I'm still angry at my sister." Zhao Yuqin intimately pinched Zhou Hao's nose, and then sighed.

"You don't even know how many times I have worried for you these past few days."

Hearing this, Zhou Hao couldn't help but hold onto Zhao Yuqin's shoulders, "Sorry elder sister, I made you worry."

Zhao Yuqin took the opportunity to lean into his embrace, "It's nothing, as long as you come back safely, then elder sister's actions will be worth it."

At this time, Zhao Yuqin was only wearing a thin shirt and a pair of shorts, and there weren't many clothes on Zhou Hao's body.

Hugging Zhao Yuqin's well-developed and mature body, and the seductive fragrance coming from her body filled his nose, Zhou Hao was completely mesmerized and he couldn't help but kiss Zhao Yuqin on his fragrant hair.

Zhao Yuqin trembled slightly, and her body became even softer as she leaned even closer into Zhou Hao's embrace.

The two of them enjoyed this moment of tranquility very much. Zhou Hao felt that his relationship with Zhao Yuqin was a little like that of a brother and sister, but it seemed to be a little more than the two of them.

The ambiguous feeling between the two was something that neither of them wanted to expose.

"Oh right, Xiao Hao, the price of your stocks has increased several times compared to before." Zhao Yuqin finally broke the silence.

"Yes." Zhou Hao continued to softly stroke her back, without much of a reaction, because this was already within his expectations.

"The money you put in has also doubled a few times." Zhao Yuqin said.

"Originally, I wanted to help you release it, but I believed that you would come back, so I restrained myself from letting it go. "Now that you're back, I knew you would be back."

"Thank you, Sister Zhao. Thank you for trusting me." Zhou Hao was sincerely grateful.

"Right, there's one more thing." Zhao Yuqin looked up from his embrace. "Do you remember when you bought a lottery ticket?"

"Lottery ticket?" After hearing Zhao Yuqin's explanation, Zhou Hao remembered that he had bought the lottery ticket on a whim just to test his intuition.

He looked at Zhao Yuqin, "That's right, I bought a lottery ticket, what, did I win?"

Zhao Yuqin nodded happily, "I really won, it's a special prize. There's even 5 million, excluding taxes, there's still more than 4 million!

I went to your house when I got back to Xiang City a few days ago. I saw that lottery ticket on the desk in your room.

I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but then the number of the prize was announced on the radio, and I knew that you had won the first prize in the lottery.

After Zhou Hao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart, and he couldn't help but kiss Zhao Yuqin on the forehead twice.

Zhao Yuqin's face was flushed red as she continued, "This time, there's bound to be good fortune if you don't die. I had thought that if something really happened to you, this amount of money would be enough for aunty to live on.

Furthermore, even if I don't have the money, I will still help you take care of Auntie. "

Zhou Hao was moved when he heard it, "Sister Zhao, why are you being so nice to me? Is it because I saved you that time? "

"I don't know either. I just want to be good to you." Zhao Yuqin hugged Zhou Hao's waist, and caressed Zhou Hao's strong and handsome face.

"Xiao Hao, after eating that Amber fruit, you became so much more handsome.

"Really?" Zhou Hao laughed, "Then wouldn't it be even more appropriate for me to be your pretty boy?"

With regards to this unexpected windfall, Zhou Hao planned to use it to purchase a few land masses from the wasteland that would have automotive parts and components production bases.

That place was still a wasteland now, and was not worth much money. Furthermore, Zhou Hao was familiar with Situ Li, and had once saved the mayor's life.

With their help, buying a few plots of land there shouldn't be a problem.

"But then again …" Zhao Yuqin suddenly pinched Zhou Hao's cheeks, "Did anything happen between you and your Teacher Li in the cave?"

Zhou Hao was shocked, thinking, could it be that Zhao Yuqin saw through something?

"When we were celebrating just now, I saw the way she looked at you with hidden bitterness in her eyes." Zhao Yuqin said.

Zhou Hao immediately asked: "How could that be? How could I dare do anything to her? Furthermore, at that time there was still the Dr Gongsun in the cave. "

Zhao Yuqin looked at him deeply for a while, "Elder sister will believe you this time."

Zhou Hao heaved a sigh of relief and saw that it was already deep into the night outside the window. He then said to Zhao Yuqin: "Sister Zhao, it's already very late, you still need to hurry back to the city tomorrow morning. You should rest early."

Zhao Yuqin's face suddenly flushed red, then said softly: "Elder sister, you're not going to leave tonight, okay?"
