Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  “Then… Grandma, do you believe that there are dragon kings?” Su Han continued to ask.

  She looked at Grandma’s teacup, and her pupil contracted a little when she saw a small piece of blood ginseng in the tea.

  Blood ginsengs were rare spiritual herbs, and experienced cultivators knew that they were great at replenishing essences. This type of blood ginseng only grew in Yuhuang Mountain under heavy guard.

  Grandma picked up the white teacup and sipped to moisturize her throat. “I believe there are dragon kings! The good climate in our East Ocean City is due to the blessing of the East Ocean Dragon King!”

  Yue Yang sighed slightly but didn’t try to change Grandma’s old ideas. She had some unpleasant arguments with Grandma before, and Grandma had some issue with her because of it even now.

  “Grandma, since you believe in dragons, do you think in demons as well?” Su Han asked with a smile, looking interested in this topic.

  “Demons?” Grandma froze for a second since she had never thought about it. She saw a dragon in her youth, but she had never seen a demon.

  When she was young, Grandma had asked the old people in the village, and they all said that there were indeed dragons, and some of them even insisted that they had seen dragons themselves.

  However, no one had seen demons, except in stories.

  “If there are dragon kings, I think there should be demon kings too, right?” Su Han looked at Grandma and asked lightly.

  Hao Ren looked from Grandma’s wrinkled face toward Su Han, not understanding the deeper meaning behind her words.

  Su Han also turned her eyes to Hao Ren and met his gaze.

  Su Han recalled Hao Ren’s vicious look when he beat Black Wolf.

  By visiting Grandma, she wanted to have a look at Hao Ren’s family that he worked so hard to protect.

  Remembering Hao Ren’s look when he continued to beat Black Wolf despite the wounds all over his body, she suddenly felt like it would be fortunate to be protected by Hao Ren.

  “Demon kings… I don’t know. It’s possible,” Grandma said after a moment of consideration.

  “Why are we talking about these mythical topics?” Yue Yang smiled casually. “Han, what course do you teach?”

  Although Su Han was a teacher, she was many years younger than Yue Yang, and there was no problem for Yu Yang to call her Han intimately. Besides, working in a scientific research laboratory, she was always greeted by others respectfully as Ms. Yue.

  “Right now, I’m teaching Optical Signal,” Su Han said.

  “Oh, really?” Yue Yang was surprised since she thought Su Han, a beautiful female teacher, was a teacher of liberal arts instead of science and technology.

  Since she worked in the field of scientific research, she felt a natural intimacy toward girls like Xie Yujia who studied engineering. Although she liked Zhao Yanzi who was a little bubbly girl, deep inside, she appreciated Xie Yujia as well. This made her feel self-contradictory.

  “In our meteorological work, the wind directional sensors use optical signals,” Yue Yang said to Su Han as she found a common topic.

  “You can observe natural bolts of lightning simultaneously with broadband electric field instruments and optical probes,” Su Han said.

  “Why, I didn’t know that you are an expert in this area, Han.” Yue Yang was pleasantly surprised.

  Su Han smiled graciously and replied, “With you, Auntie Yue, here, I don’t think I can be called an expert.”

  Hao Ren gasped, feeling unease. Her mom’s appreciation for Su Han increased quickly. He wondered what would happen if the liking reached a breaking point.

  Su Han answered all the question Yue Yang asked smoothly.

  In fact, as one of the East Ocean University’s outstanding graduates in her year, she had options of continuing her study at postgraduate and doctoral programs, going to MIT with a full scholarship, and teaching at the East Ocean University.

  Since Su Han’s purpose of going to school was just to gain a reasonable identity in the city, she chose the easiest path, which was staying at the school as a teacher.

  “Ok! Ok! You are talking about stuff that I don’t understand.” Grandma lifted her hand and interrupted Su Han and Yue Yang’s conversation.

  Smiling, Yue Yang looked at Su Han in appreciation and realized that their conversation went very too deep, and she didn’t want it to end.

  She had been an outstanding student when she was in school, and she felt like Su Han must have been the best among her peers.

  “With her vast knowledge and quick responses, Han has the capability to study in the best university in the world. If Xie Yujia is a diligent student, then Su Han is a smart student,” Yue Yang thought.

  She felt like Su Han was right on par with her, and she really liked her.

  “Mom, you can talk with Han. Yue Yang and I have some work to do,” Hao Zhonghua stood up and said to Grandma.

  Ever since he came back from the meeting with the provincial government officials, he had been busy with the quarterly report of the Ocean Research Institute. Since he had been doing scientific research in the past, he needed Yue Yang’s help with his report on the management of the institute.

  “Ok. Go ahead!” Grandma waved her hand.

  With the company of Xie Yujia and others, she was no longer as lonely as before. Besides, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were both staying in East Ocean City, so she had no reason to interrupt their work.

  Zhen Congming and Wu Luoxue were still playing games, and Zhen Congming lost again.

  Su Han stood up and walked to the window, looking out of it.

  In the yard, the plants were prospering. Uncle Wang who had been taking care of Grandma recently got a grandson and needed to go back home to help his son take care of the baby. Understanding his need, Grandma gave him some money and let him go.

  However, without Uncle Wang’s constant care, the plants in the small yard looked more vibrant.

  Sitting on the sofa, Grandma looked at Su Han’s figure and thought, “This girl is like an immortal goddess.”

  “Grandma!”

  At this moment, Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters came into the house.

  In this hot weather, Xie Yujia had a layer of sweat on her forehead and nose due to her walk from the bus station to here, making her look more charming than before.

  She was surprised at the sight of Su Han. She had gone to look for Hao Ren after the exams and was told that he left with Su Han.

  She then went with Ma Lina and the others to have a ‘parting meal’ before summer vacation, not expecting Su Han here in Hao Ren’s home.

  “Gongzi!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili called out to Hao Ren cheerfully.

  From their looks, their exams went well.

  They had taken this place like their own home and thought it was natural to come back here after exams.

  “Han, stay to have dinner with us,” Grandma said as she looked up at the clock on the wall.

  “No, thank you. I have other business, and I have to go now,” Su Han declined politely.

  Seeing Hao Ren’s cheerful and cozy home, she felt somewhat lonely.

  At this moment, she suddenly understood what Hao Ren had been trying to protect at the cost of his life.

  If one wanted to become an immortal, he or she must become a mortal first.

  Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were probably seeking this feeling.

  “Are you leaving so soon?” Grandma was reluctant to let her go.

  She felt close to Su Han, feeling that the latter was a lovely girl. Genial as Grandma was, she didn’t like all the pretty girls, especially those girls who wore heavy makeup and fawned upon the rich and powerful.

  “Oh, another thing. Tomorrow, we are going to play on the beach. Will you come as well, Han?” Grandma asked.

  Su Han looked at Grandma and paused for two seconds before answering, “Hehe, I’ll pass.”

  Looking at Su Han, Hao Ren felt her mome
ntary hesitation.

  “If Su Han goes to the beach wearing a bikini, her figure…” Hao Ren couldn’t control his imaginations.

  Su Han turned her gaze to Hao Ren who was standing by Grandma, and it seemed like she saw through his mind.

  Hao Ren immediately lowered his head and cleared his throat, trying to cover his expression by rubbing his nose.

  “Grandma, are you going to the beach too?” Su Han asked.

  “I won’t go. They’ll be driving a boat, and I don’t think I can take it. Since Zi’s mom will take Ren for a vacation, I plan to live in the countryside for two months. It’s cooler there, and I can chat with my old friends,” Grandma said.

  “How about I drive you to the countryside?” Su Han suddenly suggested.

  “Will you?” Grandma’s eyes lit up.

  She wanted to live in the village near Zhejiang for two months, but she didn’t want Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang to leave their work and drive her there.

  She was pleasantly surprised after hearing Su Han’s offer.

  “Yeah. I’m on vacation anyway.” Su Han smiled slightly.

  It was quick for her to drive Grandma to the countryside, and she planned to have a few words with the local dragons as an inspector and ask them to take good care of Grandma.

  “If so, why don’t you the night here, and we can leave together tomorrow.” Grandma took the opportunity to keep her there.

  “No. I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.” Then, Su Han turned to Hao Ren and said, “Loan me the Ferrari.”

  “Ok…” Hao Ren took out the car key and handed it to Su Han.

  Taking the key from Hao Ren’s hand, Su Han smiled at Grandma and waved at Xie Yujia before walking to the door.

  Her smile could have melted an iceberg.

  After watching Su Han walk out of the house and listening to the sound of the Ferrari driving out, Grandma smiled cheerfully and said, “Yujia, help me cook dinner!”

  “Ok, Grandma.” Xie Yujia smiled at Grandma after watching the Ferrari driving away and hesitating for a few seconds.

  Meanwhile, in Zhao Yanzi’s home, Luo Ying, the Class Advisor of Class Two in Grade Eight at LingZhao Middle School, was listing Zhao Yanzi’s wrongdoings in the living room.

  “Mrs. Zhao, I can’t let things go so easily. After all, a student who is not from our school picked up Zhao Yanzi at the school gate; it was a disgrace!”

  “Also, this guy once even attended the parent-teacher meeting disguised as her cousin. Did he get your permission to do that?”

  “Now all the students are gossiping about it. I know that he’s a student from East Ocean University instead of the City North First High School. It’s not right for students from different schools to have a romantic relationship, not to mention the huge age gap between them!”

  “Yes, I admit that Zhao Yanzi has gained some progress in her studies and ranked third place in the exams, but it doesn’t mean she can do whatever she wants at school.”

  “If you can’t solve the problem, I’ll go talk to the department director at East Ocean University! Although it’s common for university students to go out together, they can’t come after our middle school girls!”

  “Besides, I heard that the guy, I think his name is Hao Ren, climbed the wall of our school and came into the campus several times. He even has hugged and kissed Zhao Yanzi right in front of the academic building!”

  Sitting beside Zhao Hongyu, Zhao Yanzi pouted with a red face, but she didn’t dare to argue with her class advisor in front of her parents.

  According to the tradition of LingZhao Middle School, the class advisors would bring report cards to students’ homes after the final exams and do a home visit in the process. However, Luo Ying had obviously come to Zhao Yanzi’s home to complain about her.

  Zhao Yanzi didn’t think her problems were serious, compared with the unruly behaviors of other students. Her only problem was that Hao Ren had once picked her up in the Ferrari, which was indeed quite eye-catching.

  “If you don’t keep your daughter in control, I, as the Class Advisor, can’t do it either!” Red-faced, Luo Ying pointed at Zhao Yanzi with a shaking finger.

  After Zhao Yanzi was picked up by Hao Ren in a Ferrari, even the principal questioned Luo Ying and demanded her to get to the bottom of it, which was humiliating for her, a teacher who had been honored with the title as the Outstanding Class Advisor for years.

  “Ok, we’ll disciple her, Ms. Luo,” Zhao Guang finally said in his deep voice.

  Sitting upright by Zhao Hongyu’s side, Zhao Yanzi shivered subconsciously.

  After all, the disciplining method of the dragon king was…

  “In fact, Hao Ren is engaged to our Zi,” Zhao Guang continued as he looked at Luo Ying, the Class Advisor.

  471 Swimsuit Battle! 1.3 for 1 Chapter

  “La, la, la… la, la, la…” Zhao Yanzi sat in Zhao Hongyu’s SUV and hummed joyously.

  She still clearly remembered the expression on Luo Ying’s face when she left their home last night. Thinking of this, Zhao Yanzi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

  She was initially worried that Zhao Guang would punish her, but she didn’t expect Zhao Guang to send away Luo Ying and not scold her at all.

  Zhao Guang just asked her to pay attention to safety when they were out today.

  She successfully passed as top three in her class, so Zhao Hongyu promised to take her to the seaside to play. Of course, this beach was certainly not beside East Ocean City; they were going to take their private yacht to go somewhere further.

  The black SUV drove along the coastline, and the clean body shined with a glowing light. It flowed smoothly into the neighborhood on the seaside and to the door of Hao Ren’s house.

  “Hongyu!”

  Seeing a big black car appearing outside the door, Yue Yang who was in a casual t-shirt came out to welcome the guests.

  “Yue Yang!” Zhao Hongyu rolled down the window and waved. “Are the kids all ready?”

  “They’re all up and having breakfast.” Yue Yang walked over to the car and said with a smile.

  Hao Ren was not young, but Yue Yang still didn’t look old, especially with her elegant temperament. It made her comparable to Zhao Hongyu. When they were together, they looked like sisters.

  “Morning, Auntie!” Zhao Yanzi who was in a good mood put her head out and greeted crisply.

  “Good girl.” Yue Yang reached into the car and rubbed Zhao Yanzi’s face.

  Yue Yang was particularly fond of this little daughter-in-law, even more so than Zhao Hongyu.

  Zhao Yanzi stuck out her tongue and sat back.

  “Mr. Hao is not going?” Zhao Hongyu asked.

  “He…” Yue Yang seemed helpless. “He is sulking with me. But he has been really busy recently. Yesterday, I helped him sort out the quarterly summary and stayed up until midnight writing it.”

  Zhao Hongyu smiled and said, “Same for our family, saying that he is busy with work, so he can’t go.”

  She knew that Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua were fighting recently, and the focus of this conflict laid between Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi. They were fighting over who was more suitable for Hao Ren.

  “It’s fine that they don’t come; we two will have good conversations,” Yue Yang said with a smile.

  “Yes! Let them go!” Zhao Hongyu said as well; she was a little upset about Zhao Guang too.

  Men were always busy with their careers, and they didn’t care as much about their families.

  In this regard, Yue Yang and Zhao Hongyu were still very similar.

  “Ren, Yujia, are you ready?” Yue Yang turned her head and shouted to the house.

  “Coming…”

  Hao Ren, Xie Yujia, Lu Linlin, and Lu Lili answered in unison and ran out of the house.

  They were all dressed in very relaxed and casual wear, and the girls more beautiful than the other.

  A few days ago, Zhao Hongyu changed to a new car, jumping from a five-seat SUV to the seven-
seat SUV. It was larger and more spacious.

  The main reason was that during this time when she drove the studio staff to inspect the construction project, the big car could fit in a few more people.

  Since they were going out to play today, this big car fit in all the kids

  Lu Linlin and Lu Lili brought a travel bag which contained swim rings and swimsuits, and they put it in the trunk of the car.

  Then, they each took one of Hao Ren’s arms and sat in the last row of the car.

  Hao Zhonghua was going to complete the quarterly report for the Ocean Research Institute soon, and then he would take Hao Ren to the U.S. to see his old friends, Xie Yujia’s mom and dad.

  Yue Yang wanted Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi to go on a holiday, and Hao Zhonghua wanted Hao Ren to spend the summer vacation in the U.S. The two of them argued and wouldn’t participate in each other’s activities.

  However, in the end, Zhao Hongyu was softer and more tolerant. She was taking Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters out to play together, and then she would bring them to the U.S.

  Zhao Hongyu’s maternal aura not only shined on Zhao Yanzi but also on Xie Yujia and the other girls around Hao Ren.

  The black SUV drove toward the dock a few kilometers away.

  Just half an hour later, a red Ferrari came to the door of Hao Ren’s home.

  “Ding dong… Ding dong…” Su Han who was wearing a black and white business suit pressed on the doorbell.

  She wore a black short skirt and a white shirt today because she went to the staff meeting at East Ocean University. In this typical office lady attire, who knew how many male teachers’ attention she had attracted, not to mention the beautiful legs in stockings under her skirt and her very full chest that forced her to unbutton the two upmost buttons of the shirt.

  Unfortunately, Hao Ren couldn’t see Su Han in this black and white business suit.

  In this outfit, if she bent her back a little, Hao Ren would have a nosebleed.

  “Hey, Han!” Grandma carried a big bag and walked out of the house.
