Dragon King's Son-In-Law
Page 302
Three points! Two points! East Ocean University scored consecutively! And Jinghua University’s foul moves were useless!
East Ocean University’s basketball team was getting better and smoother with their moves, while the members of Jinghua University’s basketball team was getting more and more nervous!
Du… The whistle sounded, and the match was over.
[Jinghua University – 58: East Ocean University – 66]
“They won! They won!” Zhou Liren was so excited that he jumped up into the air.
Hao Ren also laughed loudly. He couldn’t believe that Zhao Jiayi’s dream of winning the national championship was fulfilled.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Zhao Yanzi.
Zhao Yanzi covered her face and murmured, “I… I said that I’d let you kiss me if Jinghua University won…”
Hao Ren reached out his hands and messed around with her hair as he smiled happily.
“I’m not a kid!” Zhao Yanzi rushed to push away Hao Ren’s hands.
Zhou Liren and the other guys ran to the basketball court with excitement. Hao Ren took advantage of this opportunity and kissed Zhao Yanzi on the cheek. Then, he laughed and also ran toward the court.
Zhao Yanzi touched her face in astonishment. Then, she stood up and chased after Hao Ren, “You bad uncle!”
Since the champion was determined, the stadium was somewhat chaotic. There was anger, excitement, happiness, regret… all the emotions appeared in the stadium.
Hao Ren rushed over obviously because he was excited.
On the court, the two teams lined up in two rows facing each other. They moved in opposite directions and clapped each other’s hands to show respect.
The muscles on Zhao Jiayi’s body were so visible that he looked like a little tank. It was his first time as team captain, and he had successfully led the team to win the nationals. He was so satisfied and proud of his accomplishment.
Huang… The two-meter-tall captain of Jinghua University’s basketball team intentionally used his shoulder to bump Zhao Jiayi’s head, but he acted as if he didn’t mean it,
The power of that hit was so strong that Zhao Jiayi backed up three steps.
“I’m sorry. You’re a bit too short,” this captain of Jinghua University said in a cold voice.
“What do you mean!” The team members who had fought alongside Zhao Jiayi in the battles to win the championship were now extremely agitated.
The teams who were giving each other high fives in an orderly fashion now turned into a jumbled mess. The two teams pushed and shoved each other as if they were going to start a fight at any second.
The director of the sports channel saw that things weren’t going that well and rushed to switch the focus of their cameras.
“Damn. What do you mean! You can’t take a loss!” Zhou Liren, who ran the fastest, had already run into the court.
He was usually the most scared, but he was incredibly hot-blooded right now as he dashed in front of the captain of Jinghua University’s basketball team.
Zhou Liren was 1.8 meters tall, but he looked incredibly small in front of the two-meter-tall basketball giant.
Guys like Yu Rong, Huang Jianfeng, Cao Ronghua, and Gu Jiadong all rushed over.
Jinghua University and East Ocean University were arch enemies on the basketball court. Fighting was unavoidable. The East Ocean University has never been afraid of Jinghua University, so fighting inside the gym or outside made zero difference.
“What happened?”
Just when the two sides were about to start fighting, Hao Ren’s calm voice sounded.
Jinghua University’s captain was about to start hitting someone. However, when he saw Hao Ren, all the anger disappeared, and he couldn’t help but back off two steps.
On Hao Ren’s forehead was the inspector’s fire symbol that only he could see, and Hao Ren let out a strong aura which was mid-tier Gen-level!
A Kan-level cultivator could only bully mortals. In front of a Gen-level cultivator, he didn’t dare to do anything arrogant, especially when this Gen-level cultivator was an inspector.
“Not…Nothing.” When this captain saw Hao Ren, he couldn’t help but stutter.
One of the privileges of inspectors was that they could use their powers without obtaining permission first. If an inspector decided that a dragon cultivator was going against the tribe’s rules, he or she could punish the offender on the spot!
A light punishment would be taking away the offender’s cultivation strength, and a heavy punishment would be death!
After seeing that Hao Ren was glaring at him, this two-meter-tall captain of Jinghua University’s basketball team turned over to Zhao Jiayi to apologize. “I’m sorry for what happened just… just now.” The players on Jinghua University’s basketball team saw that their captain’s attitude had suddenly changed and were all shocked. They knew the personality of this new captain; even if he was at fault, he could never admit it.
“Only that?” Hao Ren asked.
“We, Jinghua University, have lost fair and square!” The captain of Jinghua University said.
“It’s ok. We still have chances to play again in the future,” Zhao Jiayi said that but didn’t actually mean it.
The music sounded again, and the awarding ceremony for the National College Basketball League was about to begin.
The cameras switched back to the stadium and focused it on the heartwarming and exciting award ceremony.
Zhou Liren looked up at Zhao Jiayi and his team who were getting their trophy on stage, and he used his elbow to give Hao Ren a small nudge.
“Damn, how did you do it? That was amazing!”
Hao Ren said with an innocent expression on his face, “I don’t know…”
The aura he imposed just now was only toward the captain of Jinghua University’s basketball team, so mortals like Zhou Liren who didn’t cultivate couldn’t sense it at all.
“Wow…” Zhao Jiayi held the trophy up high on stage and let out a weird scream.
Now those classmates and neighbors who looked down at him could see him holding the trophy on television. Who knew that this short boy could win the National College Basketball League’s championship?
“Uncle, if you were to play, you could get the trophy as well,” Zhao Yanzi said.
Zhou Liren turned around and looked at this pretty little girl. “You’re talking about Hao Ren? Psh… There’s no way he could!”
Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes as she turned around and looked at that gold trophy. She imagined Hao Ren holding it up, and he would probably look quite dashing with it.
Any cultivators could easily get the champion, so they didn’t care too much about it. For her, having a boyfriend who won the National College Basketball League’s championships would be something worthy of showing off at school!
Hao Ren was good at everything, but he was too low-profile! It would be great if he won multiple national championships so that she could show off to the girls in her class.
At the last bit of the spectacular award ceremony, Zhou Liren ran up the stage and went over to Zhao Jiayi’s side. He put his hand on Zhao Jiayi’s shoulder and stole some of the spotlights, appearing on live television.
The basketball team was supposed to celebrate together, but Zhao Jiayi wanted to celebrate with his good friends from his dorm. Also, some of his teammates’ girlfriends also came to support them, so they decided to celebrate later when school starts.
“That’s incredible! National Champions!” Zhou Liren was so excited that he was still screaming when they walked out of the stadium, “Big brother Zhao, let me join the basketball team next year! I don’t need to go onto the court to play! Just let me go on stage when we collect our trophy! Can I do it? Can I do it…”
Those people from Sun Yun Martial Arts Dojo who cheered for East Ocean University had left after the game, and Zhao Yanzi followed Hao Ren like a sweet girlfriend.
“Let’s find a place to eat. On me!�
�� Zhao Jiayi said generously. He turned around and looked at Hao Ren, “Ren, what about you?”
“OK.” Hao Ren nodded.
Zhao Yanzi quickly held onto Hao Ren’s arm, making the appearance that they were close.
She saw through everything and knew that Hao Ren cared about the opinions of these good friends. Therefore, she had to establish herself as his fiancée to destroy Xie Yujia quickly.
Since Hao Ren spent time with Xie Yujia alone in New York, Zhao Yanzi could tell that he cared about the latter.
From her standpoint, Xie Yujia was using the gentle and considerate approach to slowly soften Hao Ren’s mind, which was as dull as a piece of wood.
To Zhao Yanzi, Xie Yujia was her no.1 rival. Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were not a threat at all!
“Ren, be honest with me. Is she your cousin!” Zhou Liren saw how close Zhao Yanzi was with Hao Ren. He was a bit jealous, so he couldn’t help but ask.
Zhao Yanzi had a playful and cute aura, and Zhao Liren wanted to have a girlfriend just like her.
“Fiancée! Fiancée!” Zhao Yanzi opened her eyes widely and corrected Zhou Liren again.
Zhao Yanzi went all out. Before, there was no way she would admit this identity. But now, she wanted to make sure that everyone knew about it.
“She’s from LingZhao Middle School, right?” Zhao Liren asked as he remembered something.
“What’s the matter?” Zhao Yanzi wrinkled her nose. Nowadays, tons of middle-schooler were dating.
Zhou Liren opened his mouth. “Oh, LingZhao Middle School. When school starts this year, you guys…”
“Stop!” Zhao Yanzi rushed to hold her hands up, but Zhou Liren had already finished his sentence.
“Your school’s new campus is right across from our university.”
512 She Is a Big Celebrity! 1.3 in 1 Chapter
“What… across the street?” Hao Ren was a bit confused.
He hadn’t slept in his dorm for the past two to three months, so he didn’t really know what was happening in school.
Zhao Yanzi glared at Zhou Liren angrily, so he didn’t dare to say anything else.
“What’s going on? Hao Ren was even more confused, so he asked Zhao Jiayi.
“Oh, the construction of the middle school across from the main gates of our university has been completed. Students would start attending there when summer break is over. We thought it was an affiliated school of East Ocean University, but we found out recently that it is LingZhao Middle School,” Zhao Jiayi said.
“Oh…” Hao Ren dragged out his voice as he thought.
Indeed, there was construction going on across from the main gate of East Ocean University for more than six months now. Everyone was saying that East Ocean University paid for this, so it should be an affiliated school of East Ocean University. No one would have thought it was actually Zhao Yanzi’s new campus.
So… after this summer, Zhao Yanzi would move from the old campus to here.
“Middle school students?” Zhou Liren thought to himself for a few seconds but couldn’t help but ask Zhao Yanzi.
He remembered that Zhao Yanzi went to LingZhao, but he didn’t know whether or not she was in the Middle School Department or High School Department
She was indeed very middle-school-like in terms of her personality, but she looked like a high school student.
“What about it!?” Zhao Yanzi was so furious that she squinted her eyes.
She wanted to keep this as a surprise until school started; she didn’t expect this to be exposed to Hao Ren this early, all thanks to his classmate.
LingZhao Middle School was one of the best schools in East Ocean City. It had connections with East Ocean University, and it was that Mingri Group funded both of their infrastructures.
Since the Middle School Department and High School Department were on the same campus, and students in both departments shared some of the school’s facilities, there were conflicts when scheduling classes. Also, there were negative influences from the high school students on the middle school students, making more middle school students engage in romantic relationships earlier.
After careful consideration, the school decided to build a new campus and move the middle school over.
Since some of the teachers at East Ocean University would go to LingZhao Middle School to teach, it made sense that everyone thought that it was going to be an affiliated school of East Ocean University.
“You’re really a middle-schooler…” Zhou Liren winked at Hao Ren and thought, “What a b*stard! He doesn’t even pass on such a young girl.”
Also, he gloated over Hao Ren’s bad luck. “Hao Ren, does Xie Yujia know that you seduced a middle-schooler over the summer? Her reaction would be golden,” he thought.
“The elementary school would also come over with the middle school. Are you not even letting elementary kids pass?” Zhou Liren leaned over and said softly.
“Even the elementary school is coming over?” Hao Ren was a bit shocked.
“LingZhao Elementary School is going to move here, right next to LingZhao Middle School; the original elementary school campus was too small. After they move, they’re going to open an international department so that foreigners can also come to study there. There’s going to be better teachers too,” Zhao Jiayi said.
“Damn, doesn’t that mean Zhen Congming is going to come over as well?” Hao Ren thought to himself secretly.
He knew that LingZhao Elementary School was the best in East Ocean City, but he didn’t think that Zhen Congming was going to be coming over as well.
The new campus of LingZhao Middle School would be on the south side of East Ocean University, and there was only a road in between them. Hao Ren’s dorm was also on the south side of the campus.
That meant Hao Ren’s dorm and LingZhao Middle School was right next to each other! There was only a wall separating them.
Since Hao Ren’s dorm building was no.7, it was right next to the wall. From their dorm’s balcony, they could see the classrooms of LingZhao Middle School.
His fiancée, Zhao Yanzi, was only a walk away from him!
Hao Ren suddenly was full of fright at the thought of a new school year. Although the distance between East Ocean University and LingZhao Middle School wasn’t far before, there was still a distance of four to five bus stops. Now that Zhao Yanzi could just walk across the road and get to his university, he would be bothered by her a lot!
“Now, your cousin could come and see you often,” Zhao Jiayi said with a smile.
He didn’t think that Zhao Yanzi was Hao Ren’s fiancée since he didn’t think Hao Ren could do such a shameless thing. That was why he chose to believe that Zhao Yanzi was Hao Ren’s little cousin, as well as that all the things that happened before and today were just jokes.
“However, Hao Ren’s little cousin is adorable. She is going to grow into a beauty for sure!” Zhao Jiayi thought.
“Let’s eat, let’s eat!” Zhao Jiayi said as they entered a barbeque restaurant.
Zhao Yanzi was the only girl in the group, so Hao Ren’s friends all treated Hao Ren’s ‘little cousin’ well, helping her to cook the meat, getting her spices, and ordering her drinks.
They were treating her like their own little sisters.
Zhao Yanzi suddenly felt like Hao Ren’s friends weren’t bad.
They had a great time at the barbeque place, and It was already one o’clock in the morning when they finished eating. Yu Rong and a few others were already drunk.
Hao Ren also drank more than ten bottles of beer, and he didn’t use nature essence to resolve the alcohol; his eyes were a bit red.
Cultivation was important, but his friendships with his buddies were also important to him.
Zhao Yanzi was full, and she also had a bit of alcohol. She saw that Hao Ren was getting drunk, so she helped him walk out of the restaurant.
“Bye, bye…” Hao Ren waved at his buddies.
Then, he held Zhao Yanzi’s hand, summoned the Riv
er-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, and flew away.
Yu Rong burped as he rubbed his eyes and couldn’t believe what he saw.
“Did Ren just fly away?” He turned to ask Zhao Jiayi to confirm.
“You must be drunk!” Zhao Jiayi’s face was all red. “Ren probably got a taxi! He doesn’t live with us!”
“Yes, yes, taxi! It drove very fast toward the south!” Gu Jiadong went along with it.
Yu Rong knocked his head a few times and murmured, “… His little cousin sure is pretty.”
They were so drunk that they couldn’t walk straight anymore, and they supported each other back to the hotel.
While Hao Ren flew on the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, he suddenly remembered to open the red energy sphere after flying a few hundred meters.
The River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting wasn’t flying straight, so it made Zhao Yanzi a bit worried. She was a few months away from being old enough to get the identification card so that she couldn’t get a hotel room.
“Left, left…” Zhao Yanzi thought for a bit and pulled on Hao Ren’s elbow.
Hao Ren soon dissolved the alcohol. He saw the helpless look on Zhao Yanzi’s face and found it a bit funny.
It would be at least three o’clock in the morning if they flew back to East Ocean City, so he wanted to see what kind of place Zhao Yanzi could find in Beijing for them to stay the night.
The River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting flew toward the left. There was a high-class apartment building ahead that was lit up with a dim green light. The green light was an array formation put up by a dragon cultivator who lived there.
Many dragon cultivators lived in the cities, but ordinary ones weren’t capable of putting an array formation at where they lived. The ones who did were very powerful cultivators.
“That way, balcony, balcony…” Zhao Yanzi pulled Hao Ren’s arm once again toward the direction she wanted them to go, treating him like a steering wheel.
Hao Ren had regained his consciousness from the alcohol and was just pretending to be drunk. The River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting landed on the balcony of the 16th floor according to the directions Zhao Yanzi gave.
