Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  “If Linlin and Lili are here, they might find a way…” Hao Ren thought.

  They had often nursed Grandma in secrecy and knew how to nurture mortals who had weak nature essence, but Hao Ren couldn’t do the same.

  A little while later, Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia ran to the door of the emergency room. Seeing them arriving so quickly, Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua were a bit surprised but didn’t think much of it, assuming that they had found a taxi and followed them here.

  “Do you have any cure?” Seeing Xie Yujia coming over, Hao Ren asked her in a low voice.

  Hao Ren had been impressed by Xie Yujia when she healed Premier Xia. It seemed like the power of the Life-Death Notes could bring the dead back to life.

  Xie Yujia shook her head helplessly. If she could do it, she would have let Grandma stay in the house and heal her.

  Xie Yujia’s Life-Death Notes were effective on cultivators, but she didn’t dare to use them on mortals. Both Life Notes and Death Notes were too violent for mortals.

  Likewise, she didn’t dare to feed elixir pills to Grandma. They were great for cultivators, but they were poisons that could detonate the bodies for mortals.

  “If Old Grandma could help, she probably can save Grandma,” Xie Yujia said after a moment of consideration.

  Hao Ren shook his head.

  Old grandma was beyond their reach. Besides, Grandma’s condition was still uncertain, and she might be in a coma or a more dangerous situation. Since Little White had blocked the attack for Grandma, and there was no external injury on her, she might be just unconscious temporarily.

  Several specialists in white coats hurried into the emergency room to join the consultation. Since the patient was Hao Zhonghua’s mom, the hospital had arranged the best doctors to tend to her.

  “I noticed that the emerald ring on Grandma’s finger had cracked, so I guess the ring that Lady Zhen gave her must have blocked the attack. I think Grandma will be ok.” Seeing the anxiety on Hao Ren’s face, Xie Yujia comforted him in a soft voice.

  Hao Ren hadn’t noticed this detail. Hearing Xie Yujia’s words, his tension eased a bit.

  Lady Zhen had indeed given Grandma an emerald ring, and Grandma liked it very much and wore it every day. He knew that Lady Zhen’s gifts were no ordinary stuff.

  “How about Little White?” Hao Ren turned to ask Zhao Yanzi.

  “I think…she is sleeping…” Zhao Yanzi said.

  “Ugh…” Hao Ren looked down at Little White in Zhao Yanzi’s arms and found that she was snoring with her eyes closed.

  “Damn dog!” Hao Ren had been worried about it, but now he realized that it was very tough and got only some minor external injuries.

  Under Hao Ren’s patting, Little White woke up drowsily and rubbed her ears with her paws, looking like a little girl rubbing her eyes.

  It seemed that the black ball’s target wasn’t Little White but Hao Zhonghua. However, Little White was very brave to block it.

  “Zi, I think Grandma will be ok. You should take Little White outside and buy her some clothes,” Hao Ren said.

  It wasn’t proper for Zhao Yanzi to run around in the hospital with a puppy in her arms. Since Little White would want to stay in the hospital, it would be better for her to change into her human form and stay by Zhao Yanzi’s side.

  After being severely injured by Premier Xia, that devil dragon came to Hao Ren’s home. However, it seemed like the emerald ring that Grandma wore had also given that devil dragon a heavy blow. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have fled.

  “Ok…” Zhao Yanzi was concerned about Grandma. But knowing that she wouldn’t be of any help here, she walked toward the stairs with Little White in her arms.

  “How is Auntie?”

  A female doctor in a white coat appeared at the entrance of the staircase and walked over to ask Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua.

  “She’s still in there.” Hao Zhonghua shook his head with a sigh. “President Bai, thank you for your help.”

  “I’ll do everything I can.” The female doctor smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll go in and check on her.”

  When she pushed open the door and entered the emergency room, she glanced back at Hao Ren.

  Hao Zhonghua also turned to look at Hao Ren. Seeing his son’s bafflement, he explained, “She is Wu Luoxue’s mom, President Bai Ze of the hospital. Well, I hope your grandma will be fine.”

  766 Kunlun Mountain!!!

  “Wu Luoxue’s mom…” Hao Ren looked at this doctor and sensed a peaceful presence which was different from cultivators’.

  Standing beside Hao Ren, Xie Yujia also thought that this beautiful female doctor had a calm aura around her.

  Despite her young age, Bai Ze was now the Vice President of Eastern Hospital. Besides her identity as Premier Wu’s wife, she was famous in the medical circle in East Ocean Region for her excellent skills.

  A short time ago, she had been to Russia to study and had just come back. According to the gossips, she had gone to Russia to treat the President of Russia and had cured him after a period. The top-level officials of the Russian government had hoped that she could stay.

  President Bai Ze excelled in everything from surgery and pediatrics to obstetrics and even Chinese Medicine.

  After returning from abroad, patients from all over the country had come to see her. Bai Ze had been impartial to her patients; even the high-level officials must send their secretaries to stand in line in the early morning to get registered for an appointment with her.

  However, when Hao Ren’s grandma was sent to the Eastern Hospital, she had personally arranged specialists to treat her, and she had come over to check on the patient herself. It was a rare exception from her.

  Crack! The door to the emergency room was suddenly pushed open.

  Bai Ze walked out and said, “She’s safe for the time being, but she must stay in the hospital for more observation. There might be some changes in her condition later.”

  “Thank you so much, President Bai!” Hao Zhonghua heaved a sigh of relief.

  Bai Ze was a miracle in the medical circle at the Eastern Ocean Region and could cure anyone except for a few patients who had late-stage critical illnesses.

  “Academician Hao, don’t mention it. You’ve done many favors for my husband and helped us taken care of Little Xue.” Bai Ze smiled. “I’ve arranged a ward for her and will have people finish the remaining process for you.”

  Yue Yang looked at Bai Ze gratefully, not knowing how to express her gratitude.

  She had stayed abroad a lot. When she was in East Ocean City, she spent most of her time in the research institute, which explained her unfamiliarity with Bai Ze, the star in the medical circle.

  However, Zhao Hongyu was familiar with Bai Ze. When Grandma got ill last time when both Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were abroad, Zhao Hongyu had contacted Bai Ze and took Grandma here.

  “Sister Yue, you are Sister Hongyu’s friend, right? She mentioned you many times.” Bai Ze looked at Yue Yang and said with a smile.

  Yue Yang smiled back. Among the few friends who she had in East Ocean City, Zhao Hongyu was the closest to her, and it seemed like Bai Ze would become a friend of hers very quickly.

  “It is fortunate that Bai Ze came to help this time, and I must thank her later,” Yue Yang thought to herself.

  When Grandma was pushed out from the emergency room, she had come out of the coma.

  “Mom!” Hao Zhonghua dashed over anxiously and walked alongside her bed toward the ward.

  Despite his busy work, Hao Zhonghua was a good son. When Grandma was in danger, he had pushed all his work aside.

  Seeing Hao Zhonghua walking away, Bai Ze said to Yue Yang. “The old lady is now awake, but her condition isn’t stable yet, and she is very weak. Let me be frank with you: I can only keep her condition stable for one to two weeks. But after that, it’s hard to say what will happen.”

  Yue Yang had relaxed for a bit, but her expression turned grim again after hearing Bai Ze’s wor
ds.

  Standing beside Yue Yang, Hao Ren’s heart stopped beating for a second while Xie Yujia furrowed her eyebrows.

  “Got it…” Yue Yang nodded with a heavy mind. “President Bai, please use the best medication and equipment you have.”

  “I will. She is safe in the next two weeks.” Bai Ze nodded.

  Yue Yang thought for a while and strode to the ward quickly. She was concerned for Grandma and knew that these two weeks was a critical period before any changes.

  Now, only Hao Ren, Xie Yujia, and Bai Ze were left in the corridor outside of the emergency room.

  Hao Ren looked at Bai Ze, and he had a feeling that this doctor’s words had a hidden meaning, and it was intended for him.

  “Everyone has their destiny. According to the rules, I shouldn’t have interfered in today’s incident.” Bai Ze looked at Hao Ren and said, “However, your grandma is wearing Lady Zhen’s ring, and I owe Lady Zhen a favor. That was why I extended your grandma’s life for two weeks at the risk of working against the Heavenly Dao.”

  Xie Yujia widened her eyes and looked at Bai Ze in astonishment, wondering about her true identity.

  Hao Ren wasn’t so surprised since he had sensed that Wu Luoxue’s mom was an extraordinary figure. He just wanted to know what to do next.

  “I can predict the future, but I don’t dare to make too many calculations. Your grandma’s life is in danger, and her chance of living all depends on your efforts.” Bai Ze paused before continuing, “However, it seems unworthy to change the Heavenly Dao to save a mortal’s life.”

  “I don’t care as long as I can save my grandma,” Hao Ren said.

  A mortal’s lifespan was too short, but Hao Ren wouldn’t stand by and watch his grandma die!

  “Su Han is still unconscious in the Dragon God Shrine, and your grandma’s condition will deteriorate in two weeks. I guess that Shrine Master of the Dragon God Shrine will send Su Han to me, but I can only sustain her life for the time being and can’t save her. To save them, you must get the celestial liquid of the Ageless Godly Spring in Kunlun Mountain,” Bai Ze said.

  Hao Ren looked at Bai Ze in astonishment this time, not expecting her to know about Su Han’s condition even though she wasn’t there.

  Sure enough, when Hao Ren came out from the Dragon God Shrine, the Shrine Master had sustained Su Han’s life with a secret technique. Su Han’s nature essence could circulate in her body, but she hadn’t woken up yet.

  Bai Ze sounded as if she were sure that the Dragon God Shrine would bring Su Han to her.

  In the entire world, she was probably the only one who could keep Su Han alive, and even the Shrine Master of the Dragon God Shrine must ask for her help.

  “Kunlun Mountain… I’ll go there now!” After a moment of thought, Hao Ren turned around and was ready to leave.

  “Stop! I’m not finished yet,” Bai Ze called out helplessly.

  Hao Ren who was feeling a bit hot-headed stopped in his tracks.

  “Those Soul Formation Realm cultivators won’t let you into Kunlun Mountain easily. But since you have Zhen Yuan Immortal’s Penglai Immortal Token, they probably will do him a favor. However, the godly spring is a sacred treasure, and it depends on your luck if you can get the celestial liquid.”

  “Ok. I got it!” Hao Ren touched his necklace and found the Penglai Immortal Token in there. Then, he walked toward the stairs.

  If not for Bai Ze’s reminder, he might have forced his way into the Kunlun Mountain in a moment of desperation.

  “I’m not finished…” Bai Ze said again in exasperation while looking at him.

  Hao Ren turned again and looked at her.

  “If you can’t find the Ageless Godly Spring in Kunlun Mountain, you can’t get into conflict with the Soul Formation Realm cultivators. You must go to Eighth Heaven with her to find her master.” Bai Ze glanced toward Xie Yujia.

  “Me? Master?” Xie Yujia pointed at herself in surprise.

  “Don’t be surprised. Your master took you as her disciple not only because you took care of her. In fact, your physique is very special and rare, and only you can cultivate her Life-Death Notes.” Bai Ze looked at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia calmly and said, “If you can’t find the Ageless Godly Spring in Kunlun Mountain, you must go and beg for an Immortal Elixir.”

  “Immortal Elixir?” Hao Ren and Xie Yujia asked at the same time.

  “Speaking of it, Hao Ren, you have some connections with the Queen Mother of the West,” Bai Ze continued.

  “Connections?” Hao Ren was even more baffled.

  “You don’t know that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, the two bright girls who stayed with you, are two favorite girls of the Queen Mother of the West. The Queen Mother of the West cherishes them so much that she only grounded them in the East Ocean Dragon Palace when they made mistakes.”

  “Huh?” Hao Ren had thought that the Lu sisters were two maids who had made mistakes and got sent to the mortal world from the Heavenly Realm, and he had no idea that they were the favorite girls of the legendary Queen Mother of the West.

  Those ancient immortals were the first group of cultivators, and their cultivation strengths could rival against heaven!

  “Thousands of years ago, Lady Zhen and I spent some time cultivating in the Kunlun Mountain which was governed by the Queen Mother of the West who had many fairies under her command. Lady Zhen and I had some occasional tutoring from her and were not close to her. If you can ask the favorite girls of the Queen Mother of the West to speak for you and beg for an Immortal Elixir from her, you can divide it into two and give them to your grandma and Su Han. It will be the most convenient solution,” Bai Ze said.

  “Ok…” Hao Ren had never imagined that he would still have to ask for a favor from Lu Linlin and Lu Lili. Besides, it wasn’t as easy as it sounded to get to the Heavenly Realm and find the favorite girls of the Queen Mother of the West. After all, they were all legendary figures.

  “Is that all?” Hao Ren looked down and thought for a while before raising his head and asking Bai Ze.

  “That’s all.” Bai Ze looked at him helplessly.

  “I’m surprised that this impulsive Hao Ren is the chosen one of the Heavenly Dao. He doesn’t look to be someone who can guard the Heavenly Dao. Ay! My son-in-law can’t be someone like him.”

  “Then, I’m heading to Kunlun Mountain first!” After creating an energy sphere, Hao Ren flew out from the window at the end of the corridor.

  After a moment of consideration, Xie Yujia nodded to Bai Ze and thanked her before stepping onto her Ruyi Cloth which looked like a white cloud and following Hao Ren out of the building.

  The air currents that they created fluttered Bai Ze’s coat.

  Watching them disappearing in the high sky, Bai Ze raised her hands and made some calculations.

  “On the day that the Heavenly Dao turns into the next cycle, the heavenly dragons, demon kings, and grand Soul Formation Realm cultivators aren’t daring enough to make a move, and all the clues are gathering around Hao Ren. However, the center of the vortex has been moving continuously… I wonder if Zhen Yuan Zi made a mistake… Anyway, this kid’s peach blossom luck is strong! Humph! If Zhen Congming is a womanizer like him, I’ll get rid of him who chases after Little Xue all day long!”

  767 Countless Treasures…

  Flying at a high speed, Hao Ren arrived at the territory of Kunlun Mountain in a short while. Meanwhile, Xie Yujia chased after him on the Ruyi Cloth, afraid that he would offend the Soul Formation Realm cultivators in Kunlun Mountain.

  The Ruyi Cloth that looked like a cloud was a rare dharma treasure. Although it could only carry one person, it was fast and light and didn’t consume a lot of nature essence, making it a perfect dharma treasure for a low-level cultivator like Xie Yujia.

  It was already dark when Hao Ren came out of the hospital. When he reached the edge of Kunlun Mountain, he saw that the sun was setting behind the black mountains.

  “Who is it?”

  Dozens
of white-clothed female cultivators flew out from Kunlun mountain. When they saw Hao Ren, they shot light beams at him without asking any more questions.

  In their minds, this black-haired man who used five-elemental sword energies had broken into Kunlun Mountain several times, and the patrolling cultivators knew him well.

  When they saw him again, they attacked him together, not caring to ask why he came.

  Seeing their attacks, Hao Ren knew that he had become their enemy in the past half year while he broke into the territory of Kunlun Mountain on his way to the Dragon God Shrine and even accidentally injured some of them when he was in a hurry to get away.

  It seemed that all the female cultivators here held a grudge against him.

  Swoosh! Swoosh! Powerful treasure wheels condensed by lights hacked toward Hao Ren.

  Just as Hao Ren was about to block these five-colored treasure wheels which were similar to array formations, he heard whistling noises in the air.

  About a dozen energy arrows swept past Hao Ren and hit the spinning treasure wheels, shattering them instantly.

  Stepping on a cloud, Xie Yujia pulled the bow and shot out the arrows while the thumb ring on her finger shone in the dusk.

  Seeing the female cultivators trying to organize a counterattack, Xie Yujia shot dozens of energy arrows from the demonic bow, knocking away the swords beneath the female cultivators.

  She had excellent aim!

  Hao Ren looked back at Xie Yujia in surprise.

  The dozen female cultivators froze for a moment and then felt that their feet hurt a little. Seeing their swords getting knocked away, they fell into the valley.

  Then, the other female cultivators immediately flew down to catch them.

  “You keep fighting with them… The relationship between you guys is already getting intense!” Xie Yujia stomped her feet on the Ruyi Cloth and sped up to Hao Ren’s side.

  While pulling him into Kunlun Mountain, she said to Hao Ren with some jealousy.

  Despite their hostility toward Hao Ren, the female cultivators were all gorgeous girls.
