Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  When Hao Ren led them to Hongji Square, the royal princes swarmed after him.

  The dragon cultivators held a connection conference every few years, but this important large-scale meeting discussed important issues and was attended only by the rulers of the dragon clans. The royal princes were left at home to guard the dragon palaces.

  These royal princes would inherit the dragon clans in the future, which was why the dragon kings were very strict with their upbringings, not allowing them to go out and have fun.

  However, their fathers had allowed them to go out and study in East Ocean City unprecedentedly, which brought them great excitement.

  After walking out of the school’s west gate, Hao Ren led them to the second floor of a hotpot restaurant at Hongji Square.

  As a considerate guy, Lu Qi arranged the seats for them.

  Most of the royal princes were here at East Ocean University for the first time, and some even had never visited a city before! They were extremely curious and excited about everything!

  Since the royal princes couldn’t leave the dragon palaces without permission, and their behaviors were strictly restrained by rules, they had been granted special permissions by their fathers this time to come to East Ocean City and investigate.

  “Let’s introduce ourselves.” Hao Ren stood up graciously and said, “I’m Hao Ren, and this is my girlfriend Xie Yujia, and they are Lu Linlin and Lu Lili.”

  Hearing Hao Ren introducing her as his girlfriend, Xie Yujia blushed and smiled at them.

  The royal princes took the opportunity to look at Xie Yujia and discovered her extremely beautiful.

  Although she was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, she had an extraordinary presence.

  They all knew that Hao Ren was the Fuma of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, and his formal wife should be the princess of East Ocean, but they didn’t think that it was a big deal for him to have another girlfriend.

  To ensure that they could have offspring, the dragon kings usually had three or four wives. The fathers of these royal princes each had many queens.

  Since they would inherit the dragon clans, they must choose their mates early. Despite the young looks of these royal princes, they each had their own wives!

  Although Hao Ren didn’t introduce Lu Linlin and Lu Lili as his girlfriends, the royal princes guessed that they were Hao Ren’s reserved women from the intimacy between Hao Ren and the Lu sisters.

  “If the Princess, Dragon King, and Dragon Queen of the East Ocean Dragon Clan don’t object, it doesn’t matter how many wives Hao Ren has…” they thought to themselves, “It’s said that Hao Ren has great power in the East Ocean Dragon Clan since he could move the troops of East Ocean and was also mighty.”

  Seeing the two beautiful Kun-level female cultivators and the gentle and elegant Foundation Establishment Realm female cultivator beside Hao Ren, they all felt the happiness emitting from them!

  If one could have a life like this, what more could one ask for!

  The East Ocean Dragon Clan had placed so much trust in Hao Ren that they almost gave the entire clan to him!

  After Hao Ren introduced himself, the royal princes all introduced themselves one by one.

  They all came for Hao Ren, and it was a happy gathering.

  Many dragon kings had sent their sons to East Ocean University, almost forming a short-term training camp with the hope that their sons could establish connections with other royal princes.

  After two, three, or four years, they would establish precious connections that would benefit them for life.

  These dragon kings had sent their sons to East Ocean City instead of other cities due to the gradual uprise of the East Ocean Dragon Clan. Besides, the dragon kings were sure that their sons would trust and accept Hao Ren!

  “Brother Hao is so powerful that he exchanged more than 30 rounds of attacks with that old peak Qian-level metal-elemental dragon!” Chen Su told others about Hao Ren’s achievements while he drank.

  When he was invited to East Ocean University by Lu Qi, he had been doubtful of Hao Ren’s power. But after watching yesterday’s fierce battle, he was completely convinced by Hao Ren.

  He wouldn’t be able to match Hao Ren’s power even after cultivating 200 more years! It wasn’t good luck but true power that placed Hao Ren in the future ruling position of the East Ocean Dragon Clan!

  If Hao Ren weren’t so powerful, the East Ocean Dragon King wouldn’t give the dragon clan to him so willingly!

  While Chen Su talked about what he saw yesterday, the other royal princes looked doubtful.

  After all, they couldn’t even take half a strike from a peak Qian-level cultivator.

  They wouldn’t believe Chen Su’s words if their fathers hadn’t told them after returning to their dragon clans.

  With lights flashing in their eyes, they looked at Hao Ren and wanted to ask Hao Ren to show his strength but didn’t dare to invite him to a practice battle so rashly.

  After all, they had just met and were all royal princes; it wouldn’t look good if they lost right away.

  Hao Ren ate with a smile on his face and didn’t interrupt Chen Su’s talk.

  With a red face, Xie Yujia saw these cultivators all looking at Hao Ren with admiration in their eyes, and she suddenly realized that her boyfriend was an influential figure!

  These people were all royal princes, and they were focusing on Hao Ren!

  702 I Will Come Back

  For most of the royal princes, it was the first time that they met each other, but they got along well. Without the restraint of their fathers and elders, the young men talked with each other freely.

  What they didn’t know was that despite his calmness, Hao Ren, the president of the Calligraphy Club which they would soon join, was going to venture into the Nine Dragon Palace, the holy place of the Dragon Tribe.

  Entering Nine Dragon Place meant a high probability of death.

  The Nine Dragon Palace was the safest when the four ocean dragon clans opened it together, but it was another story if one decided to break into it.

  With Qiu Niu cultivating in the Nine Dragon Palace in seclusion, the four ocean dragon clans wouldn’t open the Nine Dragon Palace in a short time.

  After lunch, they talked until the evening.

  These royal princes from different dragon clans gained a great interest in life at the city, and they even considered bringing their wives to the school as well.

  Some royal princes wanted to bring their favorite sisters into the city and try the student life at East Ocean University.

  They were just toying with these ideas, but it would surely get Lu Qing, the Vice Principal, quite busy. After all, who could have expected that these royal princes would want to bring their families here!

  Several of them looked young, but they had kids already. It would be a mess if the fathers and sons attended the same university!

  “Hahaha…” They walked out of Hongji Square, laughing and having a good time.

  Hao Ren led Xie Yujia and the Lu Sisters into the school and then toward the southern gate which connected with the student dorm area.

  After walking alongside Hao Ren in silence for a while, Xie Yujia clenched her hands and finally asked, “Hao Ren, did Su Han ask you to go to a very dangerous place?”

  “It’s… the Nine Dragon Palace,” Hao Ren answered.

  “Does Zi know?” Xie Yujia continued to ask.

  “I haven’t told her yet.”

  “Is it… very dangerous?” Xie Yujia stopped and caught Hao Ren’s hand.

  With his hand in her grip, Hao Ren had to stop as well.

  Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at them and blinked their eyes.

  “I don’t know, but I suppose it’s quite dangerous,” Hao Ren said.

  “Then…” Xie Yujia’s tense expression softened. “Can you not go?”

  It sounded like she was pleading in desperation.

  She had suppressed her curiosity for half a day. She didn’t
want to interfere with Hao Ren’s business, but she also didn’t want Hao Ren to be in danger. Her thoughts were contradicting each other.

  Seeing her pitiable and hesitating expression, Hao Ren instantly understood how Elder Xingyue felt when Zhao Kuo said farewell to her before he headed to the Demon Sea to gain battle experience.

  At that time, Zhao Kuo and Elder Xingyue just experienced a breakthrough in their relationships.

  On that Dragon Boat Festival, Zhao Kuo and Elder Xingyue were walking by the river while eating ice cream. Zhao Kuo had his black nose covered in white ice cream, and Elder Xingyue laughed. That was the happiest and most relaxed moment for both.

  When Elder Xingyue saw Zhao Kuo off, her expression looked almost the same as Xie Yujia’s right now.

  However, Zhao Kuo had returned safely.

  “It’s dangerous, but it’s also a chance for me to break through,” Hao Ren said while looking at Xie Yujia.

  When he came back from the Demon Sea, he understood what a narrow escape meant.

  The path of cultivation was full of difficulties. If not for Duan Yao’s appearance, Hao Ren would have died in the Demon Sea. That was why Hao Ren began to have a good opinion of Duan Yao. After all, if Duan Yao didn’t offer help or pretended to fail, Lady Zhen wouldn’t blame her. It meant that Duan Yao really wanted to save him.

  However, he couldn’t count on anyone to rescue him in the Nine Dragon Palace.

  The Nine Dragon Palace was an enclosed space, and it was hard to know what dangers were lurking inside.

  “Erm…” Biting on her lip, Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren and was at a loss for words.

  She considered holding Hao Ren back together with Zhao Yanzi, but she didn’t want Hao Ren to think of her as a fussy girl.

  “If Hao Ren doesn’t come back, what would happen to Grandma?” Xie Yujia thought. She wanted Hao Ren to think twice before he acted, but she worried that such comments would add to his burden.

  “Take care of my parents and grandma,” Hao Ren said as if he had seen through her thoughts.

  Su Han wanted to break through, so he must help her in the adventure into the Nine Dragon Palace. He made a promise to her, and he was paying back the gratitude that he owed Su Han.

  This breakthrough was Su Han’s ultimate goal.

  However, he knew that if he went back on his words and didn’t go to the Nine Dragon Palace, Su Han wouldn’t force him.

  Su Han would find a way to go in there by herself.

  Hao Ren didn’t want her to take the risk alone. In the Nine Dragon Palace, only his Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll could work.

  “Gongzi… Let us go with you,” the Lu sisters said.

  “I’m going with Su Han, and only two people can enter,” Hao Ren said.

  As the ancestral place of the Dragon Tribe, the Nine Dragon Palace was more dangerous to cultivators without dragon cores.

  Xie Yujia swallowed her words. She wanted to go with Hao Ren but knew that she would only add to their burden with her low realm.

  They stood on the path that was between two basketball courts and led to the southern gate of the school. The students who were playing basketball saw Hao Ren, Xie Yujia, and the Lu sisters through the iron fences.

  Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren quietly while her gaze lingered on his eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth… Despite her best wishes, she was afraid that she wouldn’t see him again.

  However, the flashing lights in Hao Ren’s eyes told her that since he had taken the path of cultivation, she had no choice but to let him do him.

  “Take care of my parents and grandma for me,” Hao Ren repeated.

  He was afraid that he couldn’t come back, but he was never a coward and wouldn’t back out after promising Su Han.

  Most of the time, he just made the decisions, and Xie Yujia would have to agree. That made Hao Ren feel sorry for her.

  After opening her arms, Xie Yujia stood on her toes and held Hao Ren’s neck tightly with pursed lips.

  The guys on the basketball courts stopped playing and watched with curiosity.

  As a reserved person, Xie Yujia had never shown any intimacy in public places. But this time, she didn’t care about others’ opinions.

  “Big Zhumu…” Sensing her reluctance to let go, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili called out in a low voice.

  “Come back safe,” Xie Yujia whispered into Hao Ren’s ear.

  With her cheek pressing on Hao Ren’s, she held onto Hao Ren’s neck tightly.

  The guys in the basketball courts on both sides were green with envy.

  Not knowing that Hao Ren was going to ‘battle’, they thought he was immersed in an intimate moment with his girlfriend.

  Hao Ren had experienced all kinds of dangers on his path of cultivation. If he only wanted to enjoy comfort in a safe environment, he could live comfortably under the protection of the East Ocean Dragon Clan and enjoy the company of the gentle Xie Yujia and the vivacious Zhao Yanzi.

  However, it was Hao Ren’s creed to protect the people around him with all his abilities.

  “For me and for Little Zi,” Xie Yujia continued.

  She was a bit jealous that Hao Ren would go to the Nine Dragon Palace for Su Han. However, considering that Su Han had rescued Hao Ren several times and even got severely injured for him, she thought that Hao Ren was doing the right thing.

  “Absolutely… I’ll come back in one piece,” Hao Ren said.

  Xie Yujia pressed her chest tightly against Hao Ren’s without holding back.

  “While Hao Ren continues to do his best, he will encounter more dangers,” Xie Yujia thought of something…

  Meanwhile, the guys on the basketball courts on both sides of the road walked to the iron fences and watched Hao Ren and Xie Yujia at a close range.

  Xie Yujia loosened her arms and placed her hands on Hao Ren’s shoulders, staring into his eyes.

  Her gaze was full love.

  This sight dazed the guys who were standing opposite to her.

  “Hao Ren’s girlfriend Xie Yujia is so beautiful. She doesn’t even have makeup on!” they thought to themselves.

  “I’ve got to go.” Hao Ren kissed Xie Yujia’s forehead tenderly before turning toward the direction of the Administrative Building.

  Standing by Xie Yujia, the Lu sisters looked after Hao Ren as well.

  Xie Yujia stood there for a few seconds and then turned to walk toward the dorms. She knew that Hao Ren wanted to accompany her a bit more, and that was why he walked this way with her.

  “Wow… Are they breaking up peacefully?” the guys thought.

  Seeing Hao Ren and Xie Yujia parting ways with grim expressions, the guys thought with pleasure, “The so-called perfect match didn’t end well! One is a beautiful girl, and the other has countless girls pursuing him. This relationship surely wouldn’t last long!”

  These tall guys who thought that they were handsome looked at each other gloatingly, thinking that their curses had come true.

  A super beauty like Xie Yujia didn’t need to lower herself by staying with Hao Ren who had lots of female pursuers. She could get any guy she wanted, and he would cherish her like a princess!

  With her elegant beauty, Xie Yujia had become one of the most popular girls in the school. Many guys who liked her style had been watching her every move!

  After thinking for a few seconds, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili ran after Xie Yujia.

  From the glance that Hao Ren gave them when he turned around, they understood that their responsibility was to protect Xie Yujia and others.

  Hao Ren’s adventure into the Nine Dragon Palace was indeed full of dangers, but his realm would increase greatly if he could return.

  If Hao Ren could reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm, they could stay by his side forever!

  While the Lu sisters walked toward the dorms with Xie Yujia, Hao Ren crossed the square before the library and came to the Administration Building.

  When he opened the door to Su Han’s office, he saw Su Han in
her white windbreaker, looking out of the window.

  The office had been tidied up with the files stacked on the right corner of the desk and chairs pushed under the desk. The array formation in the office had also been removed.

  “Let’s go!” Su Han turned to look at Hao Ren and said lightly.

  703 Nine Dragon Palace - Appear!

  The Sun was setting when Hao Ren and Su Han walked out of the Administration Building.

  Wearing a white coat, black tights, and a pair of white boots which accentuated her beautiful legs, Su Han looked fresh and elegant.

  Some students looked toward them when they saw Hao Ren and Su Han walking out from the Administration Building together.

  When the wind blew up her windbreaker, Su Han looked elegant and relaxed with her long legs exposed, revealing her charming beauty.

  Hao Ren turned to look at the lake in the setting Sun and thought that probably nothing significant would happen in East Ocean University while his absence.

  After walking out of the school, Su Han called a taxi. When she got into the back seat, she pulled Hao Ren into the back seat as well.

  The students at the school gate saw Hao Ren and Su Han both getting into the back seat, and they began to speculate the new development of their relationship.

  After asking for the address, the taxi driver started the car while he glanced at the beautiful Su Han through the rear-view mirror.

  Hao Ren sat more than ten centimeters away from Su Han.

  Looking out of the window without a word, Su Han revealed her elegant neck. Hao Ren wondered what she was thinking.

  On their way, only the radio in the taxi broke the silence in the car.

  When they arrived at the apartment complex where Su Han lived, Hao Ren followed her into the elevator. Su Han was silent on the way, and Hao Ren didn’t know what she was thinking.

  Hao Ren had been to Su Han’s home before, but he felt as if a lifetime had passed since he was here last time.

  Despite the messy kitchen, the apartment looked clean. However, the marble floor looked gloomy and cold in this weather.
