Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

Knowing what Little White had been up to, Zhao Yanzi hurriedly dodged it.

  Little White missed her and landed on the ground. Wagging its tail, it jumped up at her again.

  “You stink, Little White!” Zhao Yanzi immediately blocked it with both hands.

  “Chirp…” Discouraged, Little White curled its white tail and laid on the ground.

  In the dim light, none of them noticed that the pile of yellow stuff at the bottom of word statues ‘East Ocean University’ was melting away quickly while the grasses around it began growing fast, almost covering the lower half of the statues.

  “You want to go to Fifth Heaven?” Xie Yujia looked at Zhao Yanzi and asked.

  “I was coming here to find Uncle. Now that he’s not here, I’ll go to Fifth Heaven to play,” Zhao Yanzi said in a purposefully light way.

  “Ok. Hao Ren asked me to take care of you. I’ll go with you then,” Xie Yujia said.

  Zhao Yanzi glanced at Xie Yujia, but she didn’t dare to say anything too vicious. She knew that even her parents were polite toward Xie Yujia. After all, Xie Yujia had a mighty master who was also a great elixir master.

  “Little White!” Xie Yujia shouted at Little White who was asking for attention by rolling around on the ground.

  Seeing Xie Yujia’s look, Little White knew its strategy had failed.

  Obediently, it stood up from the ground and trotted to her side.

  “Where are we going?” Zhao Yanzi looked at Xie Yujia.

  “Do you want to fly to the sky here?” Xie Yujia glanced at the cars and students around the main gate of the school.

  “Humph!” Zhao Yanzi pouted.

  Xie Yujia didn’t speak while she led Zhao Yanzi into the campus through the main gate.

  The campus of the East Ocean University during the night was tranquil. Occasionally, some student couples passed them while holding hands.

  Zhao Yanzi turned to look at the student couples and suspected that Hao Ren and Xie Yujia had taken walks like this.

  At this thought, an unnamed rage rose in her.

  Before them, Little White raced forward for a few meters before stopping for a few seconds to wait for them. Its four golden legs looked like four small golden lotus flowers that were lifting its small, pure white body while it moved across the campus.

  Xie Yujia walked along casually, neither impatient nor hesitant.

  Zhao Yanzi turned her head and glanced at Xie Yujia, suddenly realizing that the latter was very beautiful under the street light in the school. However, Xie Yujia was so quiet that Zhao Yanzi couldn’t find an excuse to start a fight with her.

  Step by step, they walked to the depth of the campus. While she walked, Zhao Yanzi suddenly felt a yearning for university life.

  “I suppose you don’t have a lot of homework in university, right?” Zhao Yanzi suddenly asked.

  “Oh, we have some homework. Some courses are difficult, and if we don’t work hard, we might fail them,” Xie Yujia answered.

  “Oh…” Zhao Yanzi curled her lips and didn’t pursue the topic.

  Xie Yujia walked at an even speed. Zhao Yanzi walked forward for a few steps before she asked again, “Were you really ranked no.1 in the grade when you studied at LingZhao Middle School?”

  “I was the no.1 a couple of times.” Xie Yujia didn’t deny it.

  “Then, why weren’t you the Class Secretary?” Zhao Yanzi asked.

  In Zhao Yanzi’s mind, the excellent students were either Class Presidents or Class Secretaries. The girls usually took the positions of Class Secretaries and were responsible for things such as collecting class fees, organizing extracurricular activities, and class meetings, etc.

  “I only wanted to focus my attention on my studies instead of other stuff when I was in middle school…” Xie Yujia paused and glanced at Zhao Yanzi. “Did you ask around about me?”

  Zhao Yanzi pouted. “Not really. I just learned a few things about you by accident.”

  She then glanced at Xie Yujia cautiously with her peripheral vision.

  “Pretty, smart, gentle, and considerate… She left great impressions on the minds of the teachers in my school. Besides, she never had a boyfriend even though many boys pursued her…” A strong sense of danger rose in Zhao Yanzi’s mind as she thought about all that.

  392 I’m Not Her Sister!

  It was the first time that Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi walked together at the school.

  If it weren’t because of Zhao Yanzi’s slightly twisted facial expression, it would be a very heart-warming and harmonious scene as they were both wearing skirts and were walking through the campus trail that was surrounded by trees.

  “That’s Hao Ren’s girlfriend, Xie Yujia, right?”

  “Yeah, and is the little girl beside her, her little sister?”

  “Not sure, but it seems like it though.”

  A few girls, who were walking past them, whispered to each other.

  Zhao Yanzi pricked up her ears and gritted her teeth. “Who wants to be Xie Yujia’s little sister!” she thought.

  “This Xie Yujia is Hao Ren official girlfriend. That pair of beautiful twins fell for him but haven’t gotten him yet.”

  “They are always together at the library and the cafeteria…”

  “Xie Wanjun is her brother, that tall captain of the school’s basketball team.”

  “This Hao Ren is actually quite handsome. Isn’t there a pretty girl in the Music Program who likes him too?”

  “Forget it. Even the most popular girls at the school can’t get him; the others won’t stand a chance.”

  “Xie Yujia used to be the Class President, and she was always helping the Student Union. Because of Hao Ren, she resigned from all her positions, and sometimes she doesn’t even go back to her dorm at night anymore.”

  “What is so good about Hao Ren? I can’t find anything attractive about him.”

  “Even Su Han was walking with him near the lake. You tell me he is not attractive?”

  “He also doesn’t have to go to classes and was specially approved by the Vice Principal Lu Qing. There were a few times when he drove to school in a Ferrari. Isn’t he more arrogant than Huang Xujie?”

  “Oh, so he has rich parents. These people are useless…”

  Those girls thought that Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi couldn’t hear them chatting. They walked along the trail and gossiped even more.

  The veins on Zhao Yanzi’s head started bulging a little.

  On the other hand, Xie Yujia was feeling a little awkward and embarrassed. The reason why she didn’t return to her dorm room was that she was cultivating with Hao Ren on Fifth Heaven. However, from another people’s perspective… If her brother, Xie Wanjun, heard about this…

  Zhao Yanzi was furious after she heard the gossips.

  “So, Hao Ren is always together with Xie Yujia in school. No wonder their relationship is getting closer, and Hao Ren even let Xie Yujia stay at his house.

  “One more word and I will bite you,” Zhao Yanzi, who could no longer hold back her anger, yelled at those girls.

  “This little girl… doesn’t know anything about manners… Not cute at all… She will definitely not be able to get married in the future… Huh huh…”

  Of course, these university students weren’t afraid of a middle-schooler like Zhao Yanzi. They turned around and looked at Zhao Yanzi as they made some comments about her before continuing walking.

  Zhao Yanzi was so mad that smokes were about to come out of her ears. However, dragon cultivators were not allowed to harm mortals. Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth; there was nothing that she could do about it.

  “Whatever, just ignore them,” Xie Yujia held Zhao Yanzi’s hand gently and continued walking.

  People’s words were powerful, and Xie Yujia had gotten used to the gossip in school. Since Hao Ren became a ‘celebrity’ in school, countless love letters got sent to Hao Ren’s dorm room in many different ways.

  Hao Ren completely ignored all these love letters. T
hus, these letters had become Hao Ren’s roommates’ entertainment when they were not playing cards.

  If the students didn’t believe that Xie Yujia was Hao Ren’s girlfriend in school, he would be bothered by many more girls. Because of Xie Yujia, at least those girls who weren’t as beautiful knew that they got no chance and retreated.

  Zhao Yanzi was being pulled by Xie Yujia. Although she wasn’t quite willing, she felt a strange sense of dependence

  Xie Yujia’s palm was warm and soft, and her face looked kind but also strong as she wasn’t affected by the gossips around her.

  “Hey…” Zhao Yanzi asked after walking with Xie Yujia for a while, “Is it true that you and Hao Ren always go to the library together?”

  “Is there anything wrong with going to the library?” Xie Yujia asked back.

  “That…” Zhao Yanzi pouted as she could not come up with an argument.

  “We will have a fair competition; you don’t have to be so hostile toward me,” Xie Yujia said.

  “Fair competition…” Zhao Yanzi tried to understand what these words meant.

  While she was thinking, she got used to being held by Xie Yujia’s soft hand as they walked toward the student dorm area.

  There was a small forest near the girls’ dorm, and it had become Hao Ren’s ‘departure point’ for entering Fifth Heaven.

  Perhaps because of Little White’s ‘irrigation’, the trees in the forest grew a lot and got healthier.

  Xie Yujia brought Zhao Yanzi into the forest, and Little White instantly transformed into its snow lion form.

  Xie Yujia created a red energy sphere and helped Zhao Yanzi to get on Little White’s back.

  Xie Yujia’s thoughtful act softened Zhao Yanzi’s heart a little bit. Then, she suddenly woke up and pushed Xie Yujia’s hand aside. “Huh! You don’t need to try to impress me!”

  Xie Yujia smiled helplessly and sat on Little White’s back. If Hao Ren didn’t ask her to take care of Zhao Yanzi, she wouldn’t want to face Zhao Yanzi, a little girl who was hard to deal with.

  Little White entered Fifth Heaven in an instant.

  …

  Hao Ren was drinking a cup of coffee at Su Han’s apartment while reading the ‘handbook’. At the moment, he was already on page 1260.

  Su Han, who was in her white pajamas, was sitting next to Hao Ren with a cup of coffee as well; she was ready to answer any of his questions.

  Her long black hair covered the top of the white pajamas like a waterfall, and she was extremely beautiful from all angles.

  “There are 36 types of situations where inspectors are allowed to tackle mortals. The amount of force that is allowed depends on the situation, and it can be divided into 83 levels. In violation of any rules are considered illegal…”

  Hao Ren looked at the dense explanations and felt like his head was about to explode.

  Each time a page was flipped, the content on the previous page would disappear and turn into a blank page. Therefore, each page could only be read through once. Although Hao Ren had excellent memories, this twisted memorization requirement was too hard for Hao Ren.

  Even though Hao Ren didn’t have to take part in this general examination, it was his wish to explore the Dragon God Shrine’s mysteries and to join forces with Su Han in order to kick out Qin Shaoyang.

  Also, participating in the exams of the Dragon God Shrine was also a test of his true strength.

  “Hmm…” Su Han hummed.

  Hao Ren turned his head and found out that Su Han had her eyes closed and was falling asleep.

  Su Han had returned to the Dragon God’s Shrine for the interrogation for two days straight before she rushed back to the East Ocean City. Of course, she was exhausted.

  In the few seconds, while Hao Ren was looking at her, her body swayed, and her left shoulder hit Hao Ren’s right shoulder.

  Even though Su Han was always energetic and imposing, there were times where she was exhausted…

  Su Han’s long fingers were holding a cup of coffee while her exhausted body continued to sway left and right.

  Her head was lowered, and her lips were slightly curled up. Her crumbling appearance made her looked like a sleeping black finch.

  Hao Ren smiled and thought, “Su Han could be so cute sometimes.”

  He reached out gently; he was planning to hold Su Han’s shoulder with his hand and lower her body so that she could sleep on the couch for a little bit.

  However, as soon as his finger touched Su Han’s shoulder, Su Han suddenly drew out her White Jade Sword and placed it beside Hao Ren’s neck at lightning speed.

  The chilly white jade shocked Hao Ren, and it almost made him forget about the information on the last two pages that he just read.

  Su Han looked at Hao Ren with her sleepy eyes and asked, “What are you doing?”

  “No… Nothing,” Hao Ren almost didn’t dare to speak after that incident.

  Su Han thought for a moment and put the White Jade Sword away. Then, she looked at Hao Ren’s hands cautiously.

  Hao Ren quickly hid his hands behind his back. Su Han’s stare was like a sharp blade. Hao Ren felt like his hands would be cut off by Su Han within a second.

  He could never have thought that Su Han’s reaction would be so violent even though she was asleep.

  Hao Ren was just trying to help, but he almost got his throat slit…

  It seemed like Su Han wouldn’t allow anyone to touch her…

  “You seem tired already. Let’s switch things up a bit and let me see if you have made any improvements in terms of combat abilities,” Su Han said to Hao Ren after she finished her coffee and stood up.

  Hao Ren looked at Su Han, and he couldn’t help but sigh once again. Even though Su Han was wearing her pajamas, she was still as beautiful as a fairy. It seemed like only Su Han could look so beautiful in pajamas.

  Shoo!

  Su Han drew out her White Jade Sword once again and pointed it at Hao Ren’s forehead as she saw him not moving.

  Hao Ren wasn’t sure if Su Han was angry because of what just happened. However, it was hard for him to explain the situation. Therefore, all he could do was to stand up and follow Su Han to her cultivation room.

  The cultivate room was spacious, and it was specially designed for Su Han to cultivate and to practice her sword techniques. Other than a few incense burners and pillows, there was nothing else in the room.

  “The combat exams are a series of one-on-one battles. The contestants are not divided and selected by levels nor realms. The participants will immediately lose their qualifications if they lose the fight. Whoever wins will continue to the next round,” Su Han said after she entered the cultivate room.

  She was wearing a pair of white furry slippers that had cute piglets on them, and it looked very cartoonish. Who would have thought that the ice-cold Su Han liked to wear this kind of slippers at home?

  “Random selections… That means weak cultivators might have to fight against strong cultivators right at the beginning?” Hao Ren asked.

  “The Dragon God Shrine seeks only the strongest, and they are not here to rank all the cultivators who will be participating in the exams,” Su Han looked at Hao Ren coldly. “If you are unlucky and encounter a cultivator who is much more powerful than you, there’s only one way out.”

  “What is that?” Hao Ren asked immediately.

  “Surrender,” Su Han said.

  “That’s…” Hao Ren was speechless.

  “The intensity of the exams is unimaginable every year. Each cultivator would exert their full strength in order to become the inspector. For many low-level cultivators, they participate in the exams only to have the chance to battle with other cultivators who are on their levels. Therefore, if they had to fight against powerful cultivators, surrendering immediately would be the best choice. Otherwise, they would be severely injured, and they might not be able to fully recover from the injuries for several years and would miss out on many opportunities.

&
nbsp; After this comment, Su Han raised her chin and looked at Hao Ren with slight disdain. “So… show me what you’ve got.”

  393 No Match for Su Han?

  “Everything I got, huh?” Hao Ren had been planning to use his Gen-level power. Instantly, he got fully alerted!

  The 320 sword energies dashed out of Hao Ren’s body and circled him.

  Despite her knowledge about the uniqueness of Hao Ren’s cultivation technique, Su Han was a bit surprised at the sight of so many sword energies. After all, the last time when Hao Ren fought with her in the cultivation room, he could barely release simple sword energies!

  At that time, Hao Ren could, at most, shoot out ten sword energies with ten fingers at a time at great speed, giving him the ability to attack Su Han with 30 sword energies at the same time.

  But now, he could easily control 320 sword energies! Su Han knew that having hundreds of sword energies and controlling smoothly and continuously were two entirely different things!

  Hao Ren’s cultivation speed had far surpassed her prediction.

  “Be careful,” Hao Ren said out of politeness.

  “Humph!” With her White Jade sword in hand, Su Han snorted lightly and released her aura abruptly.

  Hao Ren’s 320 sword energies dashed out at Su Han in three waves, one after another like three moving walls!

  Faced with a master like Su Han, Hao Ren had to unleash his full force!

  With a twirl of her White Jade Sword, Su Han cut out a circular hole in Hao Ren’s first layer of sword array. Leaping lightly, she jumped through this circular hole and swung her sword again, breaking through the second layer of the sword energies.

  “Back!”

  Hao Ren immediately changed his chant, and the sword energies that had passed Su Han turned back, blocking her exit.

  The 320 sword energies filled the small cultivation room and thus could easily surround Su Han.

  “Piece of cake!” At Qian-level, it was impossible for Su Han to be trapped by Hao Ren’s sword array. She swung her White Jade Sword and broke the five-colored sword energies which were dizzying to look at for ordinary people.

  A part of Hao Ren’s spiritual senses was inside the hundreds of sword energies, and each of which contained a tiny thread of his spiritual senses. This way, his sword energies were agility and behaved like natal dharma treasure. However, since the amount of spiritual senses in each sword energy was low, he didn’t need to worry about the damage to his spiritual senses after the sword energies were broken.
