Dragon King's Son-In-Law
Page 358
Since Duan Yao was gifted and had the same body type, her grand uncle-master brought up Duan Yao by his side and loved her.
The reason why he lent the Sky-Turning Stamp to Duan Yao was that she was a fire-element Core Formation Realm cultivator; she had the ability to use it.
“Humph, this Sky-Turning Stamp was my grand uncle-master’s treasure. You think you can use it?” When Duan Yao saw Zhao Yanzi giving up on the Sky-Turning Stamp, she finally found an opportunity to taunt her.
This treasure was indestructible, so Duan Yao was not worried that they might destroy it.
“Is that so?” Hao Ren smiled and raised his right hand.
The Sky-Turning Stamp that was on the stone table suddenly flew into Hao Ren’s hand.
Hao Ren shook his hand slightly, and the Sky-Turning Stamp glowed with a golden light.
Bam! A streak of golden light broke through the cave entrance and struck toward the sky.
Stunned and speechless, Duan Yao looked to Hao Ren and didn’t know how to react
Xie Yujia saw Duan Yao’s expression, shook her head with a smile, and continued drawing her essence-locking notes.
Hao Ren then threw the Sky-Turning Stamp on the stone table. The Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll could convert and release five-elemental nature essence, so a pure fire-elemental dharma treasure like this was even simpler to use.
Xie Yujia’s Life-Death Notes could also simulate five-elemental nature essence, but her realm was low, so she was not capable of using a high-level dharma treasure like this without the unique dharma spell.
“You see it? Garbage dharma treasure!” Zhao Yanzi stared at Duan Yao, arms crossed.
Duan Yao’s bit her lips and didn’t know what to say.
Now, she was more assured of the fact that Hao Ren was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Otherwise, she felt like she wouldn’t be defeated so easily before, and Hao Ren couldn’t use her grand uncle-master’s dharma treasure.
The heat in her belly was still slowly emitting energy. Even though she couldn’t use any nature essence, her injuries were recovering.
“It seems like this pervert did not feed me a poisonous pill but a great healing pill,” Duan Yao thought as she looked at Hao Ren, “That’s it. He has two beautiful concubines, one gentle and one petite. He is not in a hurry to…”
She watched Hao Ren on the stone bed, eating golden flaky objects from a small brown bag. He did not glance at her at all, and she felt a little disappointed.
Only at the age of 16, she had already reached the Core Formation Realm. She was a genius of Sky Mountain Sect, and she was also vivacious and beautiful.
There were many cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect who pursued her, but Duan Yao’s goal was the Nascent Soul Realm. Her grand uncle-master told her that she had the potential of getting to the Nascent Soul Realm, so she had not fallen in love with any of those pursuers.
The husband in her dreams at the very least had to be at the Nascent Soul Realm, but most of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were old men. Therefore, she was discouraged.
“This Hao Ren has reached the Nascent Soul Realm at such a young age… Perhaps he is not young, but the way he acted does not feel old…” Duan Yao secretly peeked at Hao Ren and thought he was better than all her pursuers in her sect.
“No, no, no… What am I thinking! He already has two concubines. Also, we are mortal enemies. Even if we are on neutral terms, as the dignified daughter of Sky Mountain Sect Master, I would not give in and become a concubine!” Duan Yao thought.
She bit her tongue a little to wake herself up. Then, she thought that the elixir pill that Hao Ren fed her was affecting her.
The wound on her tongue had already healed, and her shoulder which was stabbed by Xie Yujia’s energy arrow also started to recover.
“Rumble…” Her hungry stomach started to make noises.
“This is yummy.” Hao Ren sat on the stone bed and split a few pieces of biscuits with Zhao Yanzi.
“I bought this at the school’s supermarket. This brand tastes the best,” Zhao Yanzi said.
“Crunch… Crunch…” These ‘golden flaky objects’ in Duan Yao’s eyes made crisp sounds in their mouths, and the sweet smell permeated the cave.
“Little White, come to have some!” Zhao Yanzi threw a couple of pieces to Little White.
“Slurp slurp…” Little White stuck out its long red tongue and chewed on the crispy biscuits happily.
Duan Yao watched them and could not help but drool.
597 Getting Revenge For Sure!
Duan Yao was the princess of Sky Mountain Sect, which was even better compared to being born into the emperor’s family.
She had eaten the most delicate food in the world, and she had worn luxurious silk dresses.
However, what Hao Ren and the others were eating was something she had never seen before; they had a good scent to them and seemed especially delicious.
She had never seen clothes like what Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi were wearing. She thought they looked weird at first, but she felt like they looked quite pretty after a while.
Zhao Yanzi’s pajamas had blood on it and was a bit torn, so she had put on a new set of spare clothing in her cave. The new top was a gridded, floral shirt while the bottom was a pair of beach shorts. Although it wasn’t a good matching outfit, it still looked nice on her.
Duan Yao thought her emerald green silk dress was one of her prettiest dress, but she now felt like it was quite common after seeing Zhao Yanzi’s outfit.
“Little White. Here you go!” Zhao Yanzi split a sausage in half and threw one half to Little White.
Little White jumped up half a meter and ate that piece of sausage. Then, it stuck out its tongue, shook its head, and wriggled its tail as it ran around Zhao Yanzi.
It was still pretending to be cute in its snow lion form. Seeing this, Zhao Yanzi opened a pack of sausage and stuck them into its mouth.
One meter away from them, Duan Yao sat in the stone chair and watched them eat. She didn’t feel right since she was hungry.
They didn’t hit or humiliate her, but they were now eating happily but didn’t give her anything. Watching them eat while hungry was a type of torture…
Duan Yao was a Core Formation Realm cultivator, but her nature essence was now locked. Therefore, she was no different from an ordinary person. She couldn’t escape and win fights, and her stomach failed to live up to her expectations and kept growling…
“Sigh! I’ll give you this to eat!” Zhao Yanzi looked at Duan Yao, picked up a can of potato chips, and walked over.
Duan Yao looked at Hao Ren and the others eat, and she was hungry. Now that Zhao Yanzi walked over to her, she lifted her right hand and slapped the can of potato chips without any further thought.
“You!” Zhao Yanzi’s eyes opened widely with anger.
She and Duan Yao were enemies, but this was something else. Zhao Yanzi didn’t want to abuse Duan Yao, so she wanted to give Duan Yao a can of potato chips. However, Duan Yao’s attitude was such!
“I won’t eat your food! I’ll kill you for sure!” Duan Yao stared at Zhao Yanzi fiercely.
When Zhao Yanzi heard Duan Yao’s words, she was furious.
“This little girl is very wild! She always shouts and says that she wants to kill!” Zhao Yanzi thought.
Zhao Yanzi’s had some temper of her own, but she was overall still generous. At least, Zhao Yanzi didn’t want to harm other people. Even though she didn’t get along with Xie Yujia no matter what, she still didn’t want to hurt Xie Yujia.
However, if it weren’t for Duan Yao being too wild in the beginning, Zhao Yanzi wouldn’t end up becoming enemies with her. She only took things away from Duan Yan as a retaliation!
Now that Duan Yao was captured, she was still as fierce as a tiger.
Zhao Yanzi was infuriated. She was far less patient than Xie Yujia, so she picked up the can of potato chips on the floor and slapped it on the table right across from Duan Ya
o.
Duan Yao couldn’t use her nature essence right now, so she was an ordinary girl. When she saw how Zhao Yanzi like she was about to torture her, Duan Yao bit her lips and held her fists tight, getting ready to fight to her last breath.
However, Zhao Yanzi didn’t hit her. Instead, Zhao Yanzi opened the can of potato chips, took out some potato chips, and started eating them in front of Duan Yao!
Duan Yao looked at Zhao Yanzi in surprise because she didn’t understand what she was doing.
The delicious aroma of potato chips drifted into Duan Yao’s nose, making her even hungrier.
Whoosh! Little White was now well fed, so it flew outside the cave abode.
It saw the golden shield floating high in the air, so it roared twice and spat out a fireball.
The golden shield slowly rotated itself. When it saw Little White’s fireball, it immediately let out a dash of golden light.
Boop!
The golden light and fireball hit and extinguished each other.
Little White was now full and needed some exercise, so it spat out three more fireballs.
The golden shield was still very relaxed. It turned into three and absorbed the fireballs before flying toward Little White.
Little White had never seen such a scene, so it turned around and ran.
“Buzz…” the golden shield let out three more little shields.
Little White turned around and clawed against the golden shields only to discover that they were illusions. It let out angry roars and flew rapidly towards the golden shield.
Those treasures that were called supreme spiritual treasures were smart, and so was Little White.
The golden shield was flying around bored in the valley and had seemed to have found a play friend, so it let out a few more small shields.
Little White thought these were illusions for sure, so it hit one straight with its head. To its surprise, it was bounced off two meters, and its head was now dizzy.
The golden shield let out tens more small shields around Little White as if it were mocking Little White while it floated high in the air.
“Roar! Roar!”
Little White spat out three more fireballs.
Hao Ren heard the commotion outside the cave, so he rushed out to the entrance only to see Little White and the golden shield; one was on the floor while the other was in the sky. They were only playing with each other.
The Purple Golden Hairpin was stuck to the ground, not moving an inch. It looked as if their play had nothing to do with it.
Little White was hit in the butt by the golden shield a few more times. Little White was frustrated and angry, so it moved its golden claws around, piercing through a few small round shields.
It had fought with a level 4 snow lion today and lost. It was already feeling down. Now that a treasure played it, it was even more furious.
The golden shield was an object of intelligence. It saw that Little White was very angry, so it felt very good about itself. That was why it continuously shot out tens of smalls shields at Little White.
Hao Ren couldn’t control the golden shield. The golden shield had its own weak but independent thoughts. When Little White shot a fireball at it, it saw it as a provoking sign. Of course, it had to retaliate.
“Is Little White alright?” Zhao Yanzi asked worriedly.
“This golden shield didn’t harm it. It’s just playing with it,” Xie Yujia said as it looked up at the golden shield.
She could sense that the spirit property of the golden shield far exceeded Su Han’s White Jade Sword. It was slightly weird that such an incredible treasure was willing to stay by Hao Ren’s side instead of flying off to the skies.
Little White was usually very lazy: it ate and slept, then it slept and ate. Little White could lose some fat practicing with the shield. It could also increase its battle abilities.
The three of them stood at the cave entrance watching Little White and the golden shield playing around. Duan Yao quietly got up and tried to see if there were an escape tunnel in the cave.
However, when she saw that the cave was only connected to an elixir-making chamber and was an enclosed room, she gave up.
She went back to the table and saw the chips that Zhao Yanzi left on the table. She hesitated for a few seconds but quickly grabbed a bunch and stuck them in her mouth.
She was hungry. In front of Zhao Yanzi, she tried to act tough and not eat anything. In reality, she did not have much strength left and almost fainted.
“If I don’t eat, how will I have the strength to escape?” Duan Yao didn’t want to wait for her death.
When the chips entered her mouth, she couldn’t describe the taste. She immediately filled her mouth with more chips.
It was crispy! It was of great taste! It was a bit salty and delicious!
Duan Yao saw that the three were still standing at the cave entrance, so she rushed to shove a bunch more in her mouth.
From her perspective, Zhao Yanzi and the others were weird. She suspected that they were cultivators from Seventh Heaven.
Just like how lower-level dragon cultivators didn’t know Fifth Heaven existed, not every human cultivator on and above Fifth Heaven knew of the existence of First Heaven.
Regardless of whether one was a dragon cultivator or a human cultivator, curiosity was a bad thing for weaklings.
In reality, the cultivators on and above Fifth Heaven knew little about First Heaven. Those cultivators who tried to get to First Heaven to gather information usually just wandered around the borders of First Heaven and Second Heaven and typically did not dare to enter the big cities.
Cities were filled with dragon cultivators. If dragon cultivators discovered these human cultivators, they would end up being killed! Zhen-level of dragon cultivators was equivalent to the Core Formation Realm of human cultivators. Therefore, for human cultivators, cities are the most dangerous places.
Duan Yao grew up in Sixth Heaven, so she had no clue about the cities in First Heaven. She was taught to cultivate diligently to charge at the Nascent Soul Realm and kill all those that prevented her from doing so.
She did not bump into obstacles on her way. Who knew her first obstacle would be Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi.
“Little White can’t win…” Zhao Yanzi said as she turned around.
Suddenly, she saw… that the chips on the table were all eaten!
Duan Yao still looked angry and didn’t seem to have moved from the chair. However, there were still crumbs by her mouth!
Zhao Yanzi rushed over and said, “Where’re the chips!”
“I didn’t eat them!” Duan Yao responded as she puffed up her cheeks.
Zhao Yanzi admired her because she was still very confident when she was lying!
“Humph! Wait till my grand uncle-master…”
Bang! Before Duan Yao could finish her sentence, Zhao Yanzi lightly hit Duan Yao’s head with her fist.
“She keeps repeating these words. How strong can your grand uncle-master be!” Zhao Yanzi thought to herself and pulled back her fist.
Duan Yao frowned, and she looked at Zhao Yanzi angrily.
She was a Core Formation Realm cultivator while Zhao Yanzi was only a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. If she could recover her nature essence a little bit, ten Zhao Yanzi couldn’t defeat her!
“Grand uncle-master! Grand uncle-master! Your grand uncle-master still hasn’t come! Even if he were to come, we’d send him back!” Zhao Yanzi scolded her.
“My grand uncle-master would come for sure…”
Bang! When Duan Yao was about to dispute, Zhao Yanzi hit Duan Yao’s head again.
Duan Yao covered her head with her hands, and tears were about to fall.
“Wait until my grand uncle-master comes. Every single one of you won’t be able to escape!” This time, she only thought to herself and didn’t say it out loud because she was scared.
“Hahaha… I am here to greet the Herb King Master. Can you come out to meet me
?”
A loud and commanding voice sounded from outside the valley. It did not need a voice transmission note to be heard.
598 Nascent Soul Realm Master!!
Zhen Congming had set up the array formation very delicately. In order for them to be able to cultivate without external disturbance, he isolated all external sounds. However, if the vibration were strong enough, the people inside the valley would be able to hear it. That was how Xie Yujia heard the loud noise made by Duan Yao’s Sky-Turning Stamp
This loud shout showed power and was able to penetrate directly into the array formation. It was obviously not the shout of a Core Formation Realm cultivator.
Hao Ren and the others could hear it clearly in the valley. They were able to imagine how deafening it was for the cultivators outside.
“What should we do?” Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren in panic.
They imagined their opponents to be Core Formation Realm cultivators and not Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Hao Ren had expected that defeating the Sky Mountain Sect cultivators would lead to a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator coming after them. However, he did not expect it to be this quick.
From the development of Ethereal Summit, they had not faced a single Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. So far, it had been very calm and prosperous.
Those Core Formation Realm cultivators didn’t dare to go against Ethereal Summit, let alone attacking Ethereal Summit. The level 4 elixir pills from Ethereal Summit were the best pills they had ever seen. Stuff like foundation establishment pills, beauty pills, and essence replenishment pills was in high demand.
“Hahaha! I’ve come all the way to meet you after my seclusion cultivation!” The voice outside sounded again.
The array formation that could withstand Core Formation Realm cultivators shook slightly.
Duan Yao who was sitting in the cave looked slightly shocked; this voice wasn’t the voice of her grand uncle-master nor was it the voice of the Sky Mountain Sect elders she knew.
In fact, this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator was the Hongyuan Master who left but came back. He didn’t leave; he only watched from afar.
He saw that the 60 Core Formation Realm cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect weren’t able to take control of Ethereal Summit. Moreover, they had gone into the array formation but ended up getting beat and barely escaping with their lives. This scene delighted Hongyuan Master.
