215: Chapter 215 Living Up to the Name of Smoke

"Old Dian, General Zhao Zilong, come in for a moment!"

After sending away the three vice gang leaders, Chen Hu spoke up and called Zhao Zilong and Dian Wei into the office.

"Brother Hu, do you have any instructions?"

The two asked.

"Come, try these fruits!"

Chen Hu pointed to the two plates of spirit fruits on the table.

Each plate contained eleven spirit fruits.

These fruits grew from special fruit trees obtained from a large gift pack.

These fruit trees were the Physique Fruit Tree, Spirit Fruit Tree, Blood Qi Fruit Tree, Life Fruit Tree, Speed Fruit Tree, marrow cleansing fruit Tree, Origin Qi Fruit Tree, Soul Fruit Tree, Star Fruit Tree, Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree, and True Qi Fruit Tree.

Each special fruit tree produced 100 fruits, not one more, not one less.

Chen Hu also took out a plate and placed it in front of himself, deciding to taste them personally.

He first picked up a Physique Fruit.

He swallowed it in two or three bites; the taste was quite good, like the green-red plums he had eaten in his past life, but much sweeter, with only a slight acidity.

After digesting and absorbing this Physique Fruit, Chen Hu felt his Physique improve just a tiny bit.

It wasn't that the Physique Fruit's effect was bad; rather, it was quite good.

One had to know, he was a Gang-Refining Expert, and he was Cultivating an Immortal-grade Cultivation Technique; his Physical Body strength was definitely more than ten times stronger than an ordinary Gang-Refining Expert.

Under these circumstances, it could still improve his Physique.

This already demonstrated the power of the Physique Fruit.

"How is it?"

Chen Hu asked the two.

Zhao Zilong said with some excitement: "Brother Hu, these fruits are very good; they are a great help to my strength!"

"I think so too!" Dian Wei echoed.

"Then you should eat them all!"

Chen Hu continued to pick up the second fruit, the Spirit Fruit.

After eating this fruit, Chen Hu did not feel any change in his Primordial Spirit.

However, he discovered that his thinking had become much clearer.

Simply put, he had become smarter.

Next, he consumed the Blood Qi Fruit.

The purpose of this fruit was to enhance blood and Qi, but its effect on Chen Hu was minimal, even negligible.

After all, his blood had already undergone three tempering sessions and had reached a perfect state.

Soon, he had eaten all the remaining fruits.

The Life Fruit enhanced vitality, and the Speed Fruit increased speed.

The marrow cleansing fruit cleansed the marrow and cut the hair.

However, its effect was much better than the marrow cleansing fruit obtained from the Spirit Fruit Card.

The Origin Qi Fruit contained rich and easily absorbed special Origin Qi; one Origin Qi Fruit was comparable to absorbing three Low Grade Origin Stones.

The Soul Fruit enhanced Soul Power; one fruit was about twice as strong as a heaven soul grass.

The Star Fruit contained Star Origin Qi.

Star Origin Qi had the effect of cleansing the Divine Soul.

After consuming the Dao Comprehension Fruit, one could enhance their own Comprehension Ability.

After consuming the True Qi Fruit, it could turn into easily fused True Qi.

These fruits were of no use to him.

But for Martial Artists below the Liangang Realm, they all had good effects.

For example, Zhao Zilong and Dian Wei.

After they consumed the eleven fruits, they had quite a harvest.

Once they fully digested these fruits, they would be able to start impacting the Blood Refining Realm.

Time flew by.

It soon became evening.

"Time to get off work!"

Chen Hu stretched and walked home with Zhao Zilong and Dian Wei.

As they approached the main gate, he saw five beautiful women coming from the opposite direction.

Two of them were Zhao Hongxue and Zhao Feifei.

"Young Master Chen, let me introduce them to you; they are my other three younger sisters!" Zhao Hongxue said, stepping forward quickly.

Chen Hu nodded to the other three women: "Let's go inside to talk."

Soon.

Chen Hu brought the five women to the reception hall in the middle courtyard.

After ordering someone to bring tea.

Chen Hu cast Eye of Insight on the five women.

Among them, Zhao Hongxue's favorability was the highest, already reaching 82 points.

Zhao Feifei was second, with only 72 points.

As for the other three women, the lowest was 30 points, and the highest was 50 points.

The next moment, Zhao Hongxue stood up and introduced: "Young Master Chen, let me introduce you; this is my second younger sister, Zhao Qingzhu, currently a Disciple of the Changqing Sect."

Zhao Qingzhu immediately stood up and bowed to Chen Hu: "Qingzhu greets Young Master Chen."

Before coming to the Chen family, Zhao Hongxue had already told the three sisters about Chen Hu's situation.

Since Chen Hu was unwilling to acknowledge his parents, they naturally could not address each other as sworn siblings.

"Miss Qingzhu, please sit!" Chen Hu nodded with a light smile.

"Young Master Chen, this is our fourth younger sister, Zhao Zihan."

"Zihan greets Young Master Chen!"

"This is our fifth younger sister, Zhao Ruyan."

"Ruyan greets Young Master Chen!"

After the greetings, Chen Hu's gaze shifted to Zhao Qingzhu: "Miss Qingzhu, you go first, I will remove the Gu poison for you!"

"Thank you, Young Master Chen!"

Zhao Qingzhu came before Chen Hu, rolled up her sleeves, and revealed her snow-white wrist.

Chen Hu was not polite; he directly placed two fingers on it, then activated his healing Divine Ability, easily disintegrating the Gu poison in her heart.

Afterward, he did the same for the others.

He completely neutralized the Gu poison in Zhao Zihan and Zhao Ruyan's bodies.

Out of curiosity, Chen Hu checked the favorability of the three women again.

Among them, the favorability of Zhao Qingzhu and Zhao Zihan had both increased to over 60 points.

Only Zhao Ruyan's favorability had not changed in the slightest, remaining at 30 points.

"Could it be because of her name?"

Chen Hu couldn't help but think secretly.

The name Ruyan was like thunder to his ears; it was a villain or an important supporting character in many novels and short dramas.

He didn't know if this name had a curse.

Anyone named Ruyan was either a green tea bitch, an ungrateful wretch, or a schemer and a female player.

The Ruyan before him, although her surname was not Liu.

But Chen Hu could be certain that she was an ungrateful wretch.

After all, he had neutralized her Gu poison, yet her favorability had not increased by even half a point.

Chen Hu decided to ask Granny Long later what Zhao Ruyan's original surname was.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Originally, Zhao Hongxue wanted to speak on behalf of the other four women.

But Zhao Ruyan preempted her and said: "Young Master Chen, thank you very much for helping me remove the Gu poison, but I have already made a private pledge of lifelong commitment to the Young Master of the Lingzhou Zhao family. After I marry Young Master Zhao, I will definitely put in a good word for you in front of him!"

"Ruyan, you!"

Hearing these words from Zhao Ruyan, Zhao Hongxue couldn't help but look stunned.

Because before coming to Chen Hu's place, they had already agreed that after Chen Hu helped the other three sisters remove the Gu poison, they would stay with Chen Hu to fight against Mingjian Villa together.

Who could have expected.

The Zhao Ruyan who had agreed to the plan had actually gone back on her word.

She even brought up the name of the Young Master of the Zhao family.

It was clear that she wanted to use the name of the Young Master of the Zhao family to pressure Chen Hu.

"Hahaha!"

It was Chen Hu, however, who laughed out loud upon hearing this: "You, indeed, have lived up to the name Ruyan. Very well, since you already have your own plans, I won't force you. You may leave!"

Seeing that Chen Hu had no intention of making things difficult for her, Zhao Ruyan felt no gratitude, because she thought Chen Hu had been intimidated by the name of the Young Master of the Zhao family, and she couldn't help but feel a bit more contempt.

Thinking of this, her courage grew, and she said to the other four sisters: "I advise you four sisters, although Young Master Chen's strength is not bad, he is still lacking if he wants to fight against Mingjian Villa. If you four stay here, you might lose your lives. You might as well consider it carefully. Sisters, I have said all I can; I will take my leave now!"

"Wait!"

Chen Hu's voice rang out.
