  “Hahaha! Hahaha!”

  “I want him,” Hao Ren said mildly.

  “He’s a Ding-level prisoner, and it’s useless to fight him,” Su Han said.

  The inspectors could select their practice opponents from the dungeon, but he couldn’t randomly. The contribution points of the inspectors would be deducted by doing this. The point deduction would be less if the inspectors chose the prisoners closer to their own strengths and more if it was the other way around,

  Su Han brought Hao Ren to the prison as part of the orientation tour and didn’t expect him to practice fighting with prisoners.

  “I don’t care,” Hao Ren said.

  With a short puff, Su Han picked up Hao Ren’s token from his waist and placed it into a dent beside the cage.

  Hiss… The cage opened automatically.

  In the center of the aisle suddenly rose a round platform.

  All kinds of white lights lit up in the dim prison suddenly, and only a black light beam shone on the round platform.

  Black Wolf tumbled onto the round platform.

  Although the white lights had no effects on the inspectors who were wearing tokens, they were deadly to prisoners.

  Hao Ren took three steps forward and entered the round platform.

  “Kill him! Kill him!”

  “Kill the inspector!”

  “Hit him! Hit him!”

  All kinds of yells exploded instantly.

  The prisoners in the cells on both sides suddenly became the audience, and they shook the cages violently and created chaotic noises.

  Standing on the round platform, Black Wolf said with a distorted face, “When I get out one day…”

  Slap!

  A heavy punched landed onto his face suddenly.

  Black Wolf fell to the ground. Before he could get up, Hao Ren gave him a vicious kick.

  Dang! His foot kicked Black Wolf’s belly, making a loud noise as if he was beating on a drum.

  After rolling for five to six rounds, Black Wolf crashed onto the edge of the array formation of the round platform before bouncing back.

  “Kill! Kill…”

  The prisoners on both sides glared with red eyes and yelled with all their forces.

  Rushing over, Hao Ren lifted Black Wolf with one hand and punched his face heavily, breaking three teeth!

  Black Wolf who had been yelling arrogantly now had blood all over his mouth!

  With one hand, Hao Ren grabbed Black Wolf’s ragged clothes and smashed him onto the ground of the round platform heavily.

  “Kid, you are good!” Suddenly, Black Wolf smiled wickedly and stabbed his palm toward Hao Ren.

  Tear… His sharp fingernails cut into Hao Ren’s black robe and left a deep scratch in his chest beneath it.

  Ignoring the pain in his body, Hao Ren grabbed Black Wolf with both hands and crashed him toward his knee!

  Crack… The crisp noises of bones breaking resonated in the area, and all the prisoners heard it.

  “If you dare to touch my family, I’ll kill you!”

  Hao Ren put particular emphasis on the last word while his fist slammed heavily into Black Wolf’s chin.

  Crack… Black Wolf’s jaw dislocated and shattered.

  Black Wolf spat out a mouthful of blood that was mixed with his saliva.

  Wide-eyed, Black Wolf swung his hands across Hao Ren’s chest continuously.

  Thud! Thud!… Hao Ren’s fist landed onto Black Wolf’s face viciously and repeatedly.

  One, two, three, four, five, six…

  Clutching Black Wolf’s collar with his left hand, Hao Ren launched his right fist forward mechanically, and each of his punch was full of rage!

  Gradually, Black Wolf lost the ability to defend, and his waving hands lost their vigor.

  Then, the shouting prisoners slowly quieted down.

  They had never seen such a fight between an inspector and a prisoner like this before.

  “Hao Ren, that’s enough,” Su Han said.

  Hao Ren finally stood up with both of his hands covered in blood that came from Black Wolf and himself. His continuous punches opened the wounds in his hand and bruised his knuckles.

  Thud… Without Hao Ren’s support, Black Wolf fell listlessly, and his head hit on the ground.

  His whole face was distorted, and Hao Ren broke all his teeth.

  Wide-eyed, only his irregular and weak breathing showed that he was still alive, just barely.

  With a wave of her hand, Su Han sent Black Wolf flying from the round platform into a corner of his cell cage like a kite without a string.

  Then, she dug out the inspector’s token from the dent beside the cell cage and tossed it to Hao Ren.

  Hiss… The cell cage closed automatically.

  The white lights and the black light slowly disappeared while the round platform gradually lowered back into the ground.

  The prison was silent.

  “You’ll be punished if you kill the prisoners,” Su Han said while she led Hao Ren to the entrance of the prison.

  The prisoners in the cages on both sides of the aisle looked at Hao Ren and Su Han, holding their breaths.

  Dang… After they walked out, the massive stone gate to the prison closed again.

  Su Han led Hao Ren back to their own room.

  “Clean yourself up; you are covered in blood and have quite a few wounds.” Su Han picked up a soft white cloth and tossed it at Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren took off his black robe, revealing his muscular body.

  “Here he goes again…” Exasperated, Su Han turned to look at the scene outside of the crystal window.

  Black Wolf had left dozens of wounds on Hao Ren’s chest and belly, and some deep ones almost touched his internal organs. Hao Ren sealed his acupoints with the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll to stop the flow of blood before entering the bedroom and healing his wounds on the white jade bed.

  With the automatic circulation of his nature essence according to Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, the chilliness turned into warmth while his wounds healed quickly.

  Hao Ren didn’t want to beat Black Wolf with his cultivation strength; he just wanted to hit the latter to half death with his fists. Otherwise, Black Wolf wouldn’t have been able to touch him.

  While his fatigued body recovered, his nature essence and muscles all relaxed.

  Hiss… Hao Ren shivered and opened his eyes immediately after a while.

  Su Han was sitting cross-legged by his side while cultivating.

  “Sorry; I fell asleep…” Hao Ren sat up in a hurry.

  Su Han opened her eyes a little and glanced at him. “Put on your clothes.”

  Seeing that Su Han had placed his jacket on the white jade bed, he reached over and put it on quickly.

  While he got dressed, he looked down on his chest and found that all the wounds had healed without leaving behind a single scar. Even a small mark he had on the front side of his waist beforehand was turned into flawless skin.

  “The white jade bed is not only a cultivation treasure but also a beauty treasure,” Hao Ren thought.

  He even suspected that Su Han’s smooth skin was a result of her monthly visits to this place.

  He sneaked a glance at Su Han and found she changed out of the black robe and into her previous sapphire one-piece dress.

  “Aren’t you going to cultivate in this place for two months?” Hao Ren asked her.

  “Do you know the way back if I don’t go with you?” Su Han rolled her beautiful eyes at him.

  “Ugh…” Hao Ren found his heart racing, and he shook his head in embarrassment. “No, I don’t.”

  Exhaling slightly, Su Han rolled her eyes again and said, “You were fierce, but you are dumb as well.”

  As she swung her long, slender legs, she turned around on the white jade bed and put on her pale blue sandals with engraved flower patterns.

  While she bent down to put on her sandals, the edges of the dress caressed her thighs, creating a temptin
g image to men.

  “No… No… Su Han is a Qian-level master and can kill me with one strike…” Hao Ren hurriedly pushed the thought away.

  After smoothing her dress with her hands, Su Han walked toward the stone door. Hao Ren hurried to follow her, afraid that he would lose his way in the maze-like Dragon God Shrine.

  They walked down the spiral staircase and reached the ground floor of the Dragon God Shrine.

  The prison was located in between the restricted area of level 3 inspectors and level 4 inspectors, and the prisoners could never escape when being surrounded by such dense array formations.

  Su Han took Hao Ren to the old man on the first floor to check his contribution points, and a lot of points were deducted; the remaining points were not enough to trade for anything.

  “Let’s go!” Su Han took out her longsword and pulled Hao Ren onto it.

  In fact, Su Han seldom took missions from the Dragon God Shrine and didn’t have too many contribution points. She focused on only one thing - cultivating hard continuously.

  As to the Dragon God Shrine, it provided her the title of the regional inspector of East Ocean City and all kinds of privileges. It was worth it to keep such a Qian-level master in its system.

  After all, this world respected powerful people!

  The White Jade Sword dashed forward in the wind and quickly approached the East Ocean City.

  However, Su Han didn’t drop off Hao Ren in the city; instead, the longsword continued to fly toward the direction of the seashore.

  “You’re so kind to fly me to my home,” Hao Ren couldn’t help commenting.

  “Hehe, didn’t your grandma invite me to visit?” Su Han said lightly while the sword flew toward Hao Ren’s home.

  469 Rare Beauty

  Well… Hao Ren choked.

  Looking at Su Han’s beautiful figure, he suddenly realized that Su Han dressed up to visit his home today!

  The longsword shot into the sea and split waves.

  While the red energy sphere broke, Su Han withdrew her sword, and the two of them stood on the beach.

  Her movements were so smooth that it looked like she had just come to the beach after surfing on the waves.

  “Are you really going to my home?” Hao Ren looked at her hesitantly.

  Su Han smiled at him as a response and walked directly toward the house.

  In the past when Hao Ren was only her assisting inspector, Su Han had no interest in his family matter. However, now that Hao Ren was a level 3 inspector and her partner at East Ocean City, she felt it was necessary to know his full background.

  Following her closely, Hao Ren knew he couldn’t stop her from visiting his home.

  “Little Xue, you can’t bully Congming,” Grandma’s voice sounded when Hao Ren went to the door and took out the key.

  Click! Hao Ren opened the door and saw Zhen Congming and Wu Luoxue each having a controller in hand on the sofa, playing games in front of the TV screen.

  Gazing at the screen attentively, Zhen Congming curled his lips and scratched his head while his fingers moved quickly on the buttons.

  However, Wu Luoxue looked as casual as before while her fingers pressed the buttons at ease.

  “Ahhh…” Frustrated, Zhen Congming threw down the controller; it was obvious that he lost again.

  Wu Luoxue picked up a cup of green tea by her side and sipped, looking calmly at Zhen Congming. “More?”

  “Change the game! Change the game!” Zhen Congming yelled.

  Looking at them, Hao Ren suddenly remembered that they were also on summer break.

  “Ren, are you back?” Hearing the door opened, Grandma called out.

  When seeing Su Han behind Hao Ren, she looked pleasantly surprised. “Well, Han is here as well?”

  Embarrassed, Hao Ren wished Grandma didn’t address Su Han so intimately.

  “Grandma, how are you?” Su Han walked in with an umbrella in one hand and a fruit basket in the other. “I came to return the umbrella to you. Thank you very much.”

  Hao Ren looked at Su Han in astonishment, wondering when she got those things from.

  “It was just an umbrella! Well, you even bought me fruits!” Grandma stood up from the sofa and took Su Han’s hand in hers warmly. “In the future, just come and visit me and don’t buy anything!”

  “It’s nothing.” Su Han smiled lightly.

  Hao Ren looked at Su Han in surprise; he suddenly felt like she wasn’t bad at socializing.

  “Zhonghua! Yue Yang! Stop your work! We have a guest!” Grandma called out in a loud voice.

  Her voice was so resonant that she didn’t sound like an old lady over the age of 70.

  Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua, who had been doing their quarterly report, immediately walked down from the second floor.

  Hao Ren was even more nervous at the upheaval they caused…

  “Oh, it’s Ms. Su,” Seeing Su Han, Hao Zhonghua greeted her politely, remembering that she was a teacher from East Ocean University.

  Su Han nodded slightly.

  “Han is a university teacher?” Grandma asked.

  “Mom, she’s a teacher at East Ocean University,” Hao Zhonghua explained patiently.

  Grandma hadn’t pay much attention to Su Han when they first met, but she felt like this girl was nice afterward.

  “Oh, you’re a teacher at Ren’s school? Then, you must be here for a home visit, right?” Grandma was immediately cautious. “Ms. Su, come and have a seat! Zhonghua, hurry up and make tea for the teacher!”

  Due to her respect for teachers, Grandma called Su Han ‘Ms. Su’, and her expression turned serious.

  “You are so kind to bring present when you are paying us a home visit. Our Ren hasn’t had teachers visiting our home since he was in middle school. Ms. Su, please take a seat!” Grandma urged.

  Instantly, Su Han got nervous, and Grandma broke her composure.

  She said hurriedly, “No, I’m just a university lecturer, and I’m not here for a home visit.”

  “Not a home visit…” Grandma relaxed. “I thought our Ren caused trouble at school again.”

  Standing by Su Han, Hao Ren’s face turned red out of embarrassment. Although he had indeed caused trouble in his elementary school and middle school days, that was a long time ago!

  “Ms. Su, please have some tea.” Hao Zhonghua walked over with a cup of tea and placed it before Su Han.

  “Thank you.” Su Han took the cup. “But you can just call me Han.”

  “Zhonghua!” Grandma scolded, “Han is close to us; don’t make it so formal!”

  Embarrassed, Hao Zhonghua stood to one side, thinking, “It was you who acted so serious and formal just a moment ago.”

  He didn’t know that Grandma had grouped Su Han into her camp with her words.

  “No wonder!” Grandma looked at Su Han happily and sat with her on the sofa. “I see that you are not much older than Ren. You just graduated, right?”

  “Yeah. I just graduated and stayed in the school to be a teacher,” Su Han said.

  “Then, you must have been an excellent student.” Grandma picked up Su Han’s small hand genially. “Do you have a boyfriend?”

  “Ugh…” Hao Ren had been drinking water, and he almost choked at Grandma’s question.

  “Not yet.”

  Hearing Su Han’s answer, Hao Ren almost spat out the water again.

  “Very well. Grandma will watch out for you and introduce a good young man to you!” Grandma looked at Su Han and said with a smile.

  Hao Ren thought, “Grandma, you stay home all day. Where can you find a young man for Su Han?”

  At this thought, his heart lurched; he felt like he understood something…

  “I heard that Mr. Hao is working on a project to find dragons, right?” Su Han suddenly turned her head to look at Hao Zhonghua.

  “Right.” Hao Zhonghua sat on the sofa on the side and nodded.

  Since Su Han was their guest, he must keep her company, not to mentio
n that they had met each other before. Yue Yang sat beside Hao Zhonghua and observed Su Han.

  With a woman’s instinct, she felt like Su Han had other reasons for visiting their home.

  However, she was very beautiful, wearing a pearl necklace and a sapphire one-piece dress…

  Yue Yang was attracted by her elegance unconsciously.

  “Did you have any progress recently?” Su Han continued to ask.

  “Hehe, no progress yet. However, if the project is successful, we’ll make a discovery that will shake the whole world,” Hao Zhonghua said.

  Sitting on the other side of Grandma, Hao Ren listened to their conversation attentively. He suddenly thought about Su Han’s identity as an inspector and one of the Dragon God Shrine’s missions where it was to destroy the spirit stone…

  “Is my dad one of the key targets of surveillance of the Dragon God Shrine due to his large-scale scientific project?”

  At this moment, Su Han changed the subject and asked, “Grandma, do you believe that there are dragons in the world?”

  “Of course!” Grandma perked up immediately. “I saw one! Girl, you may be doubtful, but I saw a dragon flying in the sky when I worked in the fields as a young girl!

  “It was a summer day with great winds, and thunder cracked constantly. Some girls and I were working in the fields and saw that a storm was coming. As we hurried to find shelter, I saw a huge, huge dragon flying from the east to the west. However, only I saw it, and the others were busy looking for shelter and didn’t see it. When I told them, they didn’t believe me at all.”

  Grandma described the scene vividly.

  Hao Zhonghua had heard it several times before and hadn’t believed it until he saw a white dragon himself. Since then, he had never debunked Grandma’s story.

  However, Yue Yang shook her head helplessly when she heard Grandma repeating this same old story. She didn’t believe that such mythical creatures existed since no one had such pictures or caught such creatures. The photos that circulated on the internet were all proved to be fake.

  Anyway, she didn’t object when Hao Zhonghua insisted on establishing a scientific project to find dragons, thinking that they might find some near-extinct creatures or even species they had never discovered before.
