Dragon King's Son-In-Law
Page 65
He had a good impression of Xie Yujia since he started university. He had looked at her secretly many times during class, but he never thought that they were old friends from over ten years ago!
“Should I tell her about it?” The thought rose in Hao Ren’s mind.
After thinking about it over and over, Hao Ren held back the thought.
“Xie Yujia already has someone she likes and is waiting for him. Also, that person is probably one of the top students from her middle school or high school,” he thought, “What would be the point of telling her about it if there is no meaning behind it?”
Hao Ren found that the Mount Tai Bracelets on his wrists were getting heavier as he was thinking about this. Therefore, he just laid his head on the desk and tried to calm himself down as he started to practice the Spirit Concentration Scroll.
The Nature Essence was cleansing Hao Ren’s body while it circulated, and this helped purify his body and emotions further. The warm amber on his necklace had also enhanced the communication Hao Ren had with the heaven and the earth, so the Spirit Concentration Scroll had been running in a smoother manner.
With the recovery of his mood, the Mount Tai Bracelets were gradually getting lighter, and Hao Ren could feel that the space around him had got closer to him.
“The amber Zi gave to me really helped to quicken my cultivation,” Hao Ren paused his Spirit Concentration Scroll and wondered.
He took a look at Zhao Jiayi and the others beside him; they were all laying their heads on the desk and drooling.
He took another look at Xie Yujia; she was still carefully listening and taking notes.
“Ay, the so-called childhood sweetheart isn’t a big deal; advancing to Kan-level is what matters the most at the moment,” Hao Ren looked back at his hands, feeling like his skin indeed got smoother. However, the Mount Tai Bracelets were still heavily hanging on his wrists, reminding him that he was still Su Han’s ‘captive’.
“These two Mount Tai Bracelets force me to keep running the Spirit Concentration Scroll so I can resist their weight. They somehow also quicken my cultivation process.”
As soon as he used more Nature Essence, the two Mount Tai Bracelets immediately sensed it and started to increase their weight instantly.
“They are real Dharma treasures.” Hao Ren mocked himself secretly.
“Ting, ting, ting.” The bell rang, indicating the end of the class. Zhao Jiayi and the other two guys shook their bodies and woke up abruptly.
“Let’s go! Let’s go!” They walked out of the classroom with Hao Ren while pushing each other.
Xie Yujia packed her stuff and walked behind Hao Ren.
As Hao Ren walked out of the door while being pushed by Zhao Jiayi, he suddenly saw two beautiful girls, who were wearing ancient Chinese dresses, standing respectfully by the door as if they just came out of a painting.
“Savior!” they shouted in unison.
121 The Super Sisters
Both of the pretty girls were wearing ancient Chinese chiffon dresses that were fluttering elegantly in the wind.
These two girls’ looks and figures were the same, and the only difference was the color of their dresses; one was dark cyan while the other was light green.
Hao Ren looked at them in great shock, but he suddenly realized they were the sisters he saved at the Dragon Palace a while back.
“Savior!” Receiving no reaction from Hao Ren, they said to him again.
Their bright and pleasing voices went into everyone’s ear as if they were the sound of nature.
“Em, why are you guys here?” Hao Ren asked logically.
“We are here to thank you for saving our lives,” the girl in dark cyan said.
From their appearance, they looked like they were identical twins. Hao Ren couldn’t figure out who was the older sister and who was the younger sister, so he just took the one who was talking as the older sister.
Zhao Jiayi and others who stood beside Hao Ren all looked at him and the two girls in shock.
“Savior who saved their lives? Pledge to marry him? What? Are they shooting a movie right now?” they thought.
Xie Yujia also stared at Hao Ren and the two sisters in shock. She blinked her eyes and had no idea what was going on.
“Don’t mention it.” Taking a few steps, Hao Ren responded awkwardly.
The twin sisters followed his steps.
Hao Ren picked up the pace, and so did they.
Hao Ren stopped suddenly, and they stopped as well.
They followed Hao Ren the entire time.
Hao Ren felt helpless. Then, he looked back at them and said, “What on earth do you guys want.”
“We will be serving you, our savior, from now on!” they answered at the same time.
Hao Ren froze. It was lucky that Zhao Jiayi and his buddies were so stunned that they stopped at the classroom door and could only look at them as they walked away. The guys didn’t have the chance to hear the sisters’ response.
“Don’t worry about it.” All Hao Ren could do was patiently explain the situation to them. “I wasn’t looking for repayment when I saved you guys.”
“Savior, you rescued my older sister out of the Ice Palace. I would like to be your maid to express my gratitude!” the girl in light green said to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren looked at her realizing that his guess was right and that girl in dark cyan was the older sister.
However, a word like ‘maid’ still made him feel awkward and uncomfortable.
“Savior, you did such a favor for me. I was trapped in ice and had to fight against the chill from the millennium black ice with my energy every second. I wouldn’t have lasted 100 years if my younger sister didn’t support me with her own energy. Thank you, savior, for rescuing me. Otherwise, I would have only lived for another ten years. My younger sister is my twin, and we have a special connection; she would die soon after I die,” the older sister explained.
“The reason the younger sister is willingly spent over a hundred years with her older sister was to give her older sister a chance to surviving.” Hao Ren was touched when he witnessed the deep sisterhood between them.
“If I didn’t save them, the older sister’s remaining energy wouldn’t allow her to live for more than ten years, and the younger sister would be risking her life if she tried to save her older sister. That’s why they wanted to thank me,” he thought, “Giving it another thought, the Dragon Palace didn’t want to get into any trouble. Therefore, Premier Xia probably wanted to get it over with by using me as an excuse, which also might have gotten him some credits.”
Seeing Hao Ren remaining in silence, the older sister said again, “Our lives are all yours now, Savior. Since we are off the hook now, we would like to serve you and shield you from all dangers!”
“Don’t make it so serious,” Hao Ren waved his hands hurriedly and said, “It is good that you are out now. Start your life here since you can’t go back anymore.”
“Savior,” the younger sister wanted to say something but was interrupted by Hao Ren. “Alright! Let’s not talk about it anymore! Living a good life is the best reward for me!”
The sisters’ attitude softened as Hao Ren’s got tougher. They bent down slightly and replied, “Yes!”
Hao Ren felt more helpless seeing the sisters following him so obediently. “You can go back now, please go back now.”
“Savoir,” the younger sister continued to talk in a low voice, “Savoir, can you bring us to the market?”
“The market?” Hao Ren looked at her, puzzled.
“My sister and I want to get some socks,” the younger sister explained in a light voice.
“That was it?” Hao Ren almost began to sweat from his forehead. “Sure, I’ll bring you to the market in the university.”
Afterward, he tried to encourage them. “The way you just spoke was nice, don’t call yourself maids anymore.”
“Ok, we will strictly follow your orders,” they answered at the same t
ime.
“Blah…” Hao Ren uttered a sigh; he almost broke down.
He didn’t bother explaining any more, and he brought them downstairs and walked towards the market in the university.
On the way there, the two sisters were still communicating with their eyes while blindly following Hao Ren like two sidekicks.
“Do you live at Elder Lu’s right now?” after walking for a few steps, Hao Ren asked them.
Hearing Hao Ren’s question, they walked two steps forward, moving to each of his sides. The older sister answered, “Yes, we are temporarily living at Elder Lu’s, but we can move to your place if you need us.”
“No! No!” Hao Ren was scared of them now. “I was just asking; I didn’t mean anything else.”
Hearing Hao Ren’s response, the sisters communicated with their eyes again, having no clue whether their answer was proper or not; even the looks on their faces showed their worries.
“What are your names?” Hao Ren asked again.
“Elder Lu said that since we have new identities now, he gave us new names. My name is Lu Linlin, and my sister is Lu Lili,” the older sister in dark cyan said.
“Ok.” Hao Ren nodded. “Linlin and Lili, sound common but still easy to say.”
Noticing that Hao Ren had stopped asking questions, the sisters didn’t say anything out of caution.
The students on the campus all looked back at Hao Ren because of the two beautiful companions he had.
Hao Ren brought them to the store shelves to look for socks once they got to the supermarket. Although the supermarket was tiny, it still had various goods like girls’ leggings, socks, and silk stockings.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were picking out socks and casually spoke here and there with each other. Their had a deep relationship but were still as cautious to the new world as two little skylarks.
Hao Ren looked down and laughed. He thought about it and admitted that he would be lost too if he was in the world two hundred years later.
He gave a hundred-yuan bill to them and said, “You guys pick, you can pay at cashier near the door.” He headed out of the supermarket after he finished talking.
After all, it didn’t seem proper for a guy to stand in the area for girls’ stuff.
As he was walking out of the supermarket, Lin Li from Class Three had just come in.
Enemies were destined to meet. Hao Ren didn’t have a good impression of her, and neither did she of him. Hao Ren moved to his left to make way for her because he didn’t want to have anything to do with her.
However, Lin Li happened to walk to the right side while also trying to avoid him. As a consequence, they blocked each other’s way.
Hao Ren moved to his right while Lin Li moved to her left side, and they ended up blocking each other’s way again.
This kind of situation was quite common, but the prideful Lin Li couldn’t bear it. She suddenly became furious and screamed, “Bumpkin, what are you doing!”
Hao Ren also got mad all of a sudden, wondering if this was how the most popular girl at the school should act.
He stepped back and stared at her, but he then felt like a gentleman shouldn’t argue with a lady. Therefore, he turned around with a long face and stopped arguing.
However, Lin Li took the opportunity to continue the argument. She clamored, “Were you trying to take advantage of me!? How dare a bumpkin like you try to take advantage of me! You can’t even afford some good clothes, and you have no money or taste. You only have some stupid strength!”
It was still morning, so there weren’t that many people in the supermarket. However, the ones that were in there all looked towards them.
Hao Ren had outplayed Huang Xujie many times. Therefore, Lin Li, who admired Huang Xujie, had been annoyed by Hao Ren. She wouldn’t let this opportunity slip, so she kept screaming, “People like you just have no charm at all; I wouldn’t even take a look at you! No girl would ever like you no matter how hard you try!”
Relying on the fact that she was a girl and the school sweetheart who had countless ‘fans’, Lin Lin shouted ever more arrogantly.
In her mind, Hao Ren was just an ordinary student who had useless strength and won over Huang Xujie by luck.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two pretty girls suddenly appeared and stood on each side of Hao Ren, holding his arms.
“Who are you?” staring at Lin Li, Lu Lili asked hostility.
Seeing the two pretty girls beside Hao Ren, Lin Li couldn’t come up with a proper response as Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were both a hundred times more beautiful than her!
“Leave her alone. Have you finished shopping?” Hao Ren asked them.
“Yes!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili both nodded sweetly.
They walked out of the supermarket while holding Hao Ren’s arms, leaving Lin Li standing there in astonishment.
122 Try Our Best To Protect Gongzi
After walking out, the calm look on Hao Ren’s face gradually became awkward. He slightly added some strength to his hands so that he could pull them out of the sisters’ slim and jade-smooth arms, but Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were still holding Hao Ren’s arms tightly as if they didn’t want him to pull his hands out.
They accompanied Hao Ren on each side. Although the colors of their dresses were different, their figure and appearance were the same. Their silky black hair went all the way down to their waist.
It didn’t matter if it was from a distance or up close, both of them were absolutely perfect like jades without any blemishes. They were so elegant and gorgeous that it looked like they just came out of a poster.
They didn’t even ask who that girl was. As long as Hao Ren didn’t mention anything, they would stay beside him and remain silent.
After walking for a while, Hao Ren asked suddenly, “You have gotten your socks already, anywhere else you want to go?”
“We will go wherever Savior wants to go,” they answered in unison.
Hao Ren uttered a sigh. “Please don’t call me Savior.”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili turned around and looked at each other and then at Hao Ren. They said at the same time, “Gongzi.”
Their tone and the angelical voices could stun anyone who has heard it.
Hao Ren took another deep breath and said helplessly, “Just call me Hao Ren.”
“No!” Lu Linlin shook her head immediately. “Gongzi is the person who saved our lives; neither of us would ever be disrespectful to Gongzi.”
“Fine.” Hao Ren didn’t want to deal with them anymore. “I have class later, so please stop following me around.”
The sisters looked at each other again. This time, the younger sister Lu Lili said, “Linlin and Lili will comply with your wishes. Since Gongzi doesn’t want us to follow you, we will go now. However, Gongzi can call us whenever you need us. My older sister and I have already made the promise that we will serve Gongzi for 100 years to return Gongzi’s favor. Therefore…”
Hao Ren interrupted, “Alright, alright, I got it now. I don’t really need your help at the moment. You can go back now.”
Lu Lili nodded before taking out a small white jade bell that was tied onto a beautiful string. She lifted Hao Ren’s left arm regardless of Hao Ren’s reaction and carefully put it on for him.
“Inside the bell, there is a wisp of Spirit Energy from my older sister and I. Anytime Gongzi needs us, you can simply think of us without using any Dharma spells and slightly shake the bell. My older sister and I will fly to wherever Gongzi is,” after bending her back to tie the bell tightly on Hao Ren, Lu Lili explained to him.
“Ok.” Hao Ren had nothing else to say and could only nod.
There were two Mount Tai Bracelets from Su Han on his wrists, and there was a necklace also from Su Han on his neck that was decorated with an amber pendant that was from Zhao Yanzi. Now with the small bell given by the sisters, he was wearing more and more things…
“Wait,” Hao Ren suddenly remembered something and asked, “You just said that you ha
d been fighting against the chill from the millennium black ice for the past 200 years with the help from Lili, and you both only have a little bit of energy left?”
Hearing the question from Hao Ren, Lu Lili nodded immediately. “Yes, Gongzi! Our energies could only last ten years, but it won’t be a problem anymore. We are free right now and do not need to consume our energies. My older sister and I will cultivate again and enhance our power in order to ensure the safety of Gongzi!”
“Hasn’t Su Han said that each of them possessed top-tier Kun-level power? She probably exaggerated the fact; they only have about 5% of their original power left,” he thought.
Wondering about this in his mind, Hao Ren asked them, “Does that mean you two only have 5% of the power of a top-tier Kun-level Master to use now?”
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other and shook their heads.
“Gongzi, the techniques we cultivate are different from the ones in the Dragon Tribe. Thus, the level of our power isn’t ranked by ‘Qian, Kun, Xun, Dui, Gen, Zhen, Li, Kan’. However, the power that we can use right now is probably at the Kun-level if we convert it to this ranking system.”
Hao Ren was too stunned to move after hearing her answer.
“What?! The remaining ten-year energy is equivalent to Kun-level in the Dragon Tribe?!!” If they wait until their powers fully recover…… Em… No wonder Su Han, who is always so calm and known as a master, couldn’t even keep still!” he thought.
Noticing that the look on Hao Ren’s face changed, Lu Lili said in haste, “You can rest assured, Gongzi. Although my older sister and I have limited power at the moment, we will still try our best to ensure your safety! Meanwhile, my older sister and I will concentrate on cultivating to recover our lost strength so that we can have the actual qualifications to serve Gongzi!”
The older sister Lu Linlin kept nodding as the younger sister Lu Lili explained. They seemed guilty, probably because they thought the remaining power they had wasn’t enough to protect Hao Ren, which made it sound like a joke.
Receiving no response from Hao Ren, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili looked at each other again, realizing that they might have talked too much. They said to Hao Ren, “Gongzi, please call us if you need us, Linlin and Lili should get going!”
