Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  “As to Su Han, will she move to another city as well?” Back in the warm house, sensitive Grandma asked again.

  “She… won’t,” Hao Ren answered after a moment of hesitation.

  Grandma’s intuitive toward the girls was frightening.

  “That’s good…” Grandma nodded. “Ask her to visit more often.”

  For Grandma, the Lu sisters were heart-warming while Su Han was more mature and gave her a comfortable feeling. Grandma liked her a lot as well.

  “How are my mom and dad recently?” Hao Ren asked.

  “They are very well! They just left for work! I guess no one will take care of me, an old lady, anymore!” Grandma said in a spurt of anger.

  “Grandma! We’re here for you!” Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia hurried over and held her arms, saying almost at the same time.

  Seeing their quick response, Grandma’s expression softened. She patted their heads and said, “I have only you girls now.”

  “Don’t worry, Grandma. Our house will be lively again,” Hao Ren took Grandma’s hand and said.

  “Give me some great-grandchildren. That’s what I have been wishing for,” Grandma said.

  Hearing Grandma’s words, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia blushed at the same time.

  “Ok! I’m fine! Ren, take your stuff and go back to school,” Grandma said.

  “Ok!” Hao Ren ran to the second floor, pretending to fetch some stuff. Then, he led Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi out of the house and the residential area. When he was sure that they were out of Grandma’s sight, they flew toward East Ocean University.

  Half a day later, Su Han would try to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm in the Dragon God Shrine. Hao Ren returned to the school to see if Xu Ke had any unusual movements in the school and gave Zhao Yanzi time to ask for one day of absence from her school.

  Duan Yao had mentioned that Xu Ke had a Soul Physique, which alerted Hao Ren. He had always thought that Xu Ke, who stayed in East Ocean University under the arrangement of Taiyi Cave Master, wasn’t as simple as he looked.

  Zhao Yanzi would come back to Hao Ren in East Ocean University after asking for absence from school. Now that she was going to marry Hao Ren, she didn’t feel embarrassed to stay with him all the time.

  The Heavenly Dao would enter another cycle today, but it was just another autumn day of brilliant sunshine for most of the students and teachers in the university.

  Even the young cultivators in the school didn’t feel anything special about today.

  Hao Ren was not in the mood to go to the class. To keep him company, Xie Yujia skipped class as well; it was a rare act for her.

  The scenery of East Ocean University was wonderful. Lying down on the long bench on the meadow by the lake, Hao Ren looked at the peaceful lake as if he were resting in a park.

  Sitting on the long bench, Xie Yujia let Hao Ren rest his head on her thighs and caressed his ears with her fingers.

  Hao Ren breathed lightly with his eyes closed, enjoying the feeling when Xie Yujia’s smooth fingers moved around his ears.

  Looking at Hao Ren who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, Xie Yujia knew that his mind wasn’t so calm.

  “Ok! I’ve asked for a day off!” Zhao Yanzi ran over and sat on the long bench while panting.

  Seeing Hao Ren resting on Xie Yujia’s thighs, she slapped Hao Ren’s butt and made him sit up immediately.

  “Then… Let’s go!” Hao Ren pinched her tender cheek and stood up with a smile.

  In the distance, Xu Ke stood behind the trees and watched Hao Ren and Xie Yujia in jealousy.

  Hao Ren knew he was there.

  760 Metal-Elemental Dragon Elders 1.3 for 1 Chapter

  The sky was blue, and the ground was golden.

  On this crisp autumn day, the suburban area of East Ocean City was covered in the golden color of autumn.

  Stepping on the Purple Green Treasure Sword and the Ruyi Cloth respectively, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia flew on either side of Hao Ren.

  “Zi…” After a while, Hao Ren suddenly opened his mouth.

  “Yes?” Zhao Yanzi who had been secretly planning her wedding date turned to look at him.

  “Now that I’ve planted the mystic crystal, I can condense nature essence with it instead of the dragon core. I think I can transfer the entire dragon core back to you,” Hao Ren said.

  Zhao Yanzi blinked and continued to stare at him.

  “I was wondering… Do you want me to transfer the dragon core to you now or in three years?” Hao Ren continued.

  “Oh…” Zhao Yanzi froze for half a second and then blushed so much that her neck was even red after remembering about what happened that night.

  Hao Ren’s proposal was blatant… Stepping on the Purple Green Treasure Sword, she gave him a heavy punch. “Pervert!”

  Rubbing his chest, Hao Ren saw the blush on her face and smiled helplessly. In fact, he had meant to return the dragon core to Zhao Yanzi and remove the potential danger sooner just in case anything happened to him.

  Seeing Hao Ren didn’t dodge her punch, Zhao Yanzi finally understood his deeper meaning. She shrunk her neck guiltily and answered in a voice as low as the buzzing of a mosquito, “Maybe later…”

  Nodding with a smile, Hao Ren reached out and patted her smooth forehead while he continued flying toward the Dragon God Shrine.

  Different from the battle between Zhao Kuo and Su Han, Su Han’s Heavenly Tribulation was her personal business and didn’t need any witnesses. Thus, it didn’t allow outside cultivators to watch it.

  When Hao Ren led Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia around the Kunlun Mountain and came near the Dragon God Shrine, he saw hundreds of inspectors patrolling around the platform.

  As soon as Hao Ren got near with Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia, they were immediately stopped by about five inspectors.

  “I came to watch Sister Su’s Heavenly Tribulation!” When they were blocked, Zhao Yanzi yelled instantly.

  “No one is allowed to enter without permission from the Shrine Master!” The leading inspector looked serious and didn’t show any intention of giving way to them.

  Looking at the three-clawed golden dragon embroidered on his robe, Hao Ren knew that he was a level 3 inspector.

  If Hao Ren were still a level 4 inspector, he might be able to ask the Shrine Master for permission.

  However, he was now just an ordinary cultivator and wasn’t qualified to see the Shrine Master right now.

  “Sorry for the inconvenience!” This level 3 inspector obviously recognized Hao Ren as a former level 4 inspector, and he cupped his hands slightly at Hao Ren as he said politely.

  To prepare for Su Han’s Heavenly Tribulation, the entire Dragon God Shrine had tightened the security, sending out all the inspectors lower than level 4. Only the level 4 inspectors, and nine Deputy Shrine Masters, and the Shrine Master who hadn’t shown his face to any of the inspectors remained in the Dragon God Shrine.

  “Sorry as well!” Hao Ren also cupped hands at this inspector while several sword energies suddenly shot out from his arms.

  Not expecting Hao Ren, now an ordinary cultivator, to attack, this level 3 inspector was caught off guard when several key acupoints in his body were sealed by Hao Ren’s sword energies. That stopped him from circulating his nature essence.

  Xie Yujia responded quickly and shot out the Essence-Locking Notes hidden in her palm.

  While Hao Ren was talking to this inspector, she had taken out the Essence-Locking Notes from her bracelet, ready to help.

  The several level 2 inspectors standing by this level 3 inspector instantly felt that their nature essence got locked by the Essence-Locking Notes, and they fell to the lower sky.

  The inspectors in a distant saw these weaker inspectors falling and hurriedly over to catch them.

  Hao Ren took this opportunity to take out the last Realm-Breaking Note and easily broke the array formation around the Dragon God Shrine before leading Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia onto the platform.

  “
How dare you!”

  Yue Zilong dashed out from the top of the Dragon God Shrine. Stepping on a red light, he launched fierce attacks toward Hao Ren and the two girls who had just broken into the Dragon God Shrine.

  No longer an inspector, Hao Ren breaking into the Dragon God Shrine was a serious crime!

  Whoosh!

  Standing still, Hao Ren punched out to block Yue Zilong’s strike.

  Bam! After their fists met, Hao Ren flew backward for more than ten meters and almost crashed onto the edge of the array formation around the Dragon God Shrine. Meanwhile, Yue Zilong dropped to the ground from the air and retreated several steps.

  He looked at Hao Ren in astonishment, not expecting the latter to take his strike head-on.

  Hao Ren felt like blood and energy were surging up in his body, but the chilliness in his mystic crystal settled down the surging blood and returned the messy five-elemental nature essence back to their original state.

  Yue Zilong regained his balance and stared at Hao Ren. He had thought that Hao Ren would at least get an internal injury and spit out blood after taking his strike, but Hao Ren’s eyes turned clear immediately to his surprise, and latter’s body remained intact.

  He was incensed at Hao Ren for not living up to the expectations of the Dragon God Shrine and letting down the Shrine Master.

  However, seeing that Hao Ren could block his strength after only a few days, Yue Zilong was as shocked as he had been when he witnessed the ultimate power that Su Han unleashed in the battle with Zhao Kuo.

  “Is it possible that this kid is also a rare cultivation genius like Su Han? Perhaps the Shrine Master has seen his potential of charging at the Heavenly Dragon Realm and thus paid special attention to him!” he thought.

  Yue Zilong waved his hands and closed his palms into fists, making a fierce tiger stance. However, before he could attack Hao Ren again, the Shrine Master’s voice came from the top floor of the Dragon God Shrine.

  “Zilong, let him stay.” The Shrine Master’s tone was mild, but Yue Zilong didn’t dare to disobey the order.

  “Humph!” Yue Zilong stomped his feet lightly, and his body shot back into the Dragon God Shrine like a heavy cannonball.

  “Are you ok?” Seeing Yue Zilong flying away, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi hurried to Hao Ren’s side and asked.

  When Lu Qing moved Yue Zilong to their program as their counselor, Xie Yujia had suspected that he was a dragon cultivator, but she hadn’t imagined that he was actually a Deputy Shrine Master of the Dragon God Shrine.

  “I’m fine.” Hao Ren waved his hand.

  It wasn’t a lie to comfort them. In fact, the moment that Hao Ren blocked Yue Zilong’s strike, he felt as if all his meridians had been scattered. However, a moment later, he felt like all the nature essence in his body had been activated.

  After a surging sensation, he felt refreshed!

  It seemed that he needed that strike after he planted the mystic crystal!

  However, if Yue Zilong continued to attack him, Hao Ren wouldn’t be able to block the following strikes, and the nature essence he had just activated would be plunged.

  Whoosh!

  Lines of mysterious runes appeared in the air around the Dragon God Shrine.

  The white array formation engulfing the Dragon God Shrine had countless runes on it as well.

  Hovering in the high sky, the usually chilly air around the Dragon God Shrine instantly heated up.

  On the platform, all kinds of secret runes interacted with each other, and golden flames appeared, forming a complicated and mysterious array formation.

  In an instant, the black and sedate Dragon God Shrine was surrounded by hot flames.

  Hao Ren was astonished, not expecting the Dragon God Shrine to have such an array formation.

  In fact, even the nine Deputy Shrine Masters didn’t know that the platform of the Dragon God Shrine had hidden such an array formation.

  Wearing a white robe, Su Han walked from the Eastern Gate with her natal dharma treasure.

  She wasn’t wearing the colorful traditional dress that Lady Zhen gave her since she must withstand the Heavenly Tribulation with her own strength. Any outside help would make the Heavenly Tribulation fiercer.

  The natal dharma treasure was connected to her mind, and any strikes on it were strikes to her body. That was why she could only use this longsword to help her in this dangerous process.

  “Sister Su!” Zhao Yanzi yelled immediately at the sight of Su Han.

  Su Han turned her head slightly and saw Zhao Yanzi before nodding slightly.

  When her gaze moved to Hao Ren who was standing beside Zhao Yanzi, a light flashed in her eyes before vanishing quickly.

  Xie Yujia didn’t cry out, but she clenched her fists while she looked at Su Han worryingly.

  Since Su Han had tutored Xie Yujia on her cultivation, she was half a master to Xie Yujia to some extent. Therefore, Xie Yujia prayed silently and hoped that Su Han would pass the Heavenly Tribulation.

  Hao Ren studied Su Han’s expression and found that her expression was even colder than a few days before, which must be the result of her cultivation of the Sky-Patching Scroll. Her mind was in a state that was as peaceful as an ancient water well.

  The Heavenly Dragon cultivator who showed up on Eighth Heaven must be related to Su Han, but Hao Ren didn’t mention it to her, afraid that it would affect her state of mind.

  “Hahaha… Doesn’t the Dragon God Shrine welcome us, the Elder Council of the metal-elemental dragon clan, to watch the Heavenly Tribulation?” A resonant voice came from a distance.

  Hao Ren looked up and saw Taiyi Cave Master and six other white-robed cultivators through the array formation that had flowing runes on it. This group of cultivators was flying over from the west.

  The inspectors guarding the outer range of the platform didn’t dare to block the seven peak Qian-level, metal-elemental dragon cultivators.

  Hum!

  When they got close to the platform, the array formation around the Dragon God Shrine finally opened and let them in.

  Su Han had both the metal-elemental and water-elemental dragon bloodlines in her. Although she grew up in the East Ocean Dragon Palace and had joined the Dragon God Shrine, she was still a part of the metal-elemental dragon clan, which was why the Dragon God Shrine didn’t block the Elder Council of the metal-elemental dragon clan.

  More importantly, the hour that Su Han chose for her Heavenly Tribulation was drawing near. If the Dragon God Shrine and the Elder Council of the metal-elemental dragon clan fought with each other, it would affect Su Han’s Heavenly Tribulation.

  After entering the array formation, Taiyi Cave Master landed steadily on the platform around the Dragon God Shrine.

  Hao Ren turned his head and saw that Taiyi Cave Master had brought Xu Ke with him. After being kicked out of East Ocean City, Taiyi Cave Master had recovered from his injuries in a short time, and he was looking energetic again.

  “Knowing that Zhao Kuo who had beat him was defeated by Su Han, he must be smug,” Hao Ren thought.

  Hao Ren felt like these metal-elemental dragon elders would try to draw Su Han into the clan as soon as she reached the Heavenly Dragon Realm.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  The nine Deputy Shrine Masters flew out of the Dragon God Shrine.

  Among them, six were peak Qian-level cultivators, and the remaining three were at top-tier Qian-level.

  The members of the Elder Council of the metal-elemental dragon clan were astonished to see such a powerful team in the Dragon God Shrine.

  They hadn’t expected that the Dragon God Shrine, which was established only hundreds of years ago, had six peak Qian-level cultivators and three top-tier Qian-level cultivators. They also didn’t know that these Deputy Shrine Masters had all been taught by the Shrine Master who hadn’t shown his face in public!

  The Deputy Shrine Masters had realized that these metal-elemental dragon cultivators must have secret plans in coming here
suddenly since the Dragon God Shrine and the metal-elemental dragon clan had almost no relationships.

  Now that the top-level cultivators of the Dragon God Shrine and the metal-elemental dragon clan broke even, Su Han was the key factor in breaking the balance with her choice of staying with the Dragon God Shrine or return to the metal-elemental dragon clan.

  The Deputy Shrine Master felt that Su Han didn’t have a deep attachment to the Dragon God Shrine since she rarely took missions and spent most of her time in the Dragon God Shrine, cultivating alone in her room. However, they wouldn’t allow the metal-elemental dragon clan to take Su Han back!

  After all, Su Han was never close to the metal-elemental dragon clan. Now that the metal-elemental dragon clan wanted her to return to them after she became a Heavenly Dragon cultivator?

  “What a good dream they have!” the Deputy Shrine Masters thought to themselves.

  The six metal-elemental dragon elders who were standing on either side of Taiyi Cave Master were surprised to see the nine fierce-looking Deputy Shrine Master who came out of the Dragon God Shrine. Then, they calmed down since there was already a Heavenly Dragon cultivator behind them!

  A few days ago, the elders got the shocking news that Su Han had defeated Zhao Kuo, the No.1 Master in the Mortal World, and would charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm soon. Then, Taiyi Cave Master contacted them and convinced them to watch Su Han’s Heavenly Tribulation in the Dragon God Shrine with the intention of inviting Su Han back into the metal-elemental dragon clan. They all agreed to his suggestion.

  Hundreds of years ago, one of the metal-elemental dragon cultivators had reached the Heavenly Dragon Realm, but that cultivator was elusive. If Su Han became a Heavenly Dragon cultivator, then the metal-elemental dragon clan would have two cultivators in the Heavenly Dragon Realm!

  With this intention, they had come to the Dragon God Shrine with Taiyi Cave Master in high spirits, determined to draw Su Han to their side. But to their surprise, they found that the Dragon God Shrine also had six peak Qian-level cultivators!
