Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  Hao Ren pulled by Lu Linlin and Lu Lili and dashed toward Fifth Heaven.

  The Lu sisters could be very naughty yet very calm. After they got released from the East Ocean Dragon Palace, they had been cultivating earnestly and recovered back to a level which was equivalent to mid-tier Qian-level, only a bit weaker than Su Han.

  In fact, their cultivation method was a type of dual cultivation, which allowed them to intercommunicate with each other and empower each other. They were bound together for growth as well as misfortunate.

  If the Lu sisters fought Su Han together, the latter might not be a match against them.

  Bobo… the three of them broke through the array formation of Fifth Heaven and entered the Ethereal Summit.

  The trees created shade, grasses grew luxuriantly, and hundreds of flowers and herbs were blooming at the same time…

  They only hadn’t been here for a month, and there was such a massive transformation.

  On the green grasses, more than a dozen white furry snow lion cubs rolled around and fought each other.

  520 Demonic Bow

  “Yujia!”

  Hao Ren saw Xie Yujia, who was busy in the field, right away and called her.

  Xie Yujia, who was lowering her head and checking a spiritual herb named ‘Heavenly Morning Aroma,’ didn’t see Hao Ren entering the valley.

  When she heard Hao Ren’s voice at this moment, she raised her head in happiness and replied in surprise, “Hey, you’re here!”

  She wore a V-neck t-shirt with a knitted floral pattern, a white round hat, a retro long skirt that covered below her ankles, and a white jade bracelet on her wrist. Her outfit was a very distinctive combination of modern and ancient styles.

  “Big Zhumu is so beautiful!” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stood by the field and immediately complimented Xie Yujia. They weren’t lying; Xie Yujia was a natural beauty, and her outfits were eye-catching.

  “You are also very beautiful,” Xie Yujia said.

  Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, who cut off their long hair, looked very refreshing. Their white dress shirts, short skirts, and black stockings were in the academy-style, and they were alluring as well.

  Lu Linlin and Lu Lili smiled at each other sweetly; it was clear that they liked Xie Yujia’s compliment.

  “Are you back in East Ocean City?” Xie Yujia asked Hao Ren.

  “Yeah, I just got back.” Hao Ren looked at the valley that was entirely different and asked, “How did it change so much?”

  “There were only weeds and rocks in the valley and seemed empty. Little White happened to have excess fertilizer, so I planted some grasses, trees, and flowers,” Xie Yujia smiled and said.

  There was some mud stuck on her hands, but it didn’t affect her beauty. It seemed like she hadn’t been idle in the past month. Her parents were busy at the factory, and she came to Ethereal Summit to organize the flowers and grass. She treated this place as a home and put lots of time and energy into it.

  “Where did these snow lions come from? Did you exchange for them?” Hao Ren’s gaze turned to those snow lion cubs, which were rolling on the grasses.

  “No… Didn’t you say that there were a few more Seven-Color Snow Lotus in the snow lion cave at Northwest Sky Mountain? When I had time, I brought Little White there and since it wanted to visit its parents as well.”

  “Girls are more considerate, and she thought about bringing Little White back to see its parents. I never thought of that…,” Hao Ren thought.

  “That lion cave has an array formation from the past, and only cultivators below Zhen-level or Core-Formation Realm could go inside. Only I can bring Little White back…” Xie Yujia said.

  “And then?” Hao Ren asked.

  Xie Yujia’s whispered, “Little White already reached level 2 and returned to its nest gloriously. However… it found out that its parents had passed away.”

  “Oh…” Hao Ren was a bit surprised to hear this news.

  He knew Little White’s personality.

  After reaching level 2, Little White would want to show off its strength in front of its peers that used to bully it.

  However, it discovered that its parents weren’t there anymore when it ran into the cave. This kind of news was undoubtedly a great shock to Little White.

  Even though Hao Ren didn’t see the scene with his own eyes, he felt sad just imagining it.

  Little White had always been silly and funny. It didn’t like to do work, and it liked taking credit for achievements. Even though it seemed like it had many flaws, it was loyal and understanding.

  “And then…?” Hao Ren was stunned for a few seconds before asking again.

  “Little White was very sad. Since that territory belonged to the regional earth-elemental dragon clan, and the snow lions relied on snow lotus for food, I didn’t pick the matured snow lotus. I only got some seeds and want to plant them in Ethereal Summit.”

  “When I was about to leave, many mature snow lions stopped me and gave me their kids. It’s probably because they saw that Little White had good encounters outside and wanted me to bring their kids out of that cave,” Xie Yujia said.

  “Um…” Hao Ren nodded.

  All parents wanted the best for their kids, both humans and animals.

  When Little White’s parents asked Hao Ren to take Little White, they probably wished that Little White could be freed from the cave. Also, the other reason might be that they were old and knew that they couldn’t take care of Little White anymore.

  Xie Yujia felt bad and couldn’t refuse when she saw those tearful snow lions, so she took all the snow lion cubs with her. Hao Ren could imagine this scene.

  At the moment, Hao Ren turned his head around again to look at the carefree snow lion cubs.

  “Where’s Little White?” he asked.

  “Little White is staying in its cave. It’s been really down for the past two days,” Xie Yujia pointed at the tiny cave beside Hao Ren’s cave abode.

  “Little White, Little White…” Hao Ren yelled.

  Seeing that Little White didn’t move, Hao Ren could only fly over and put his hand into the tiny cave.

  As expected, Little White curled itself into a ball and hid inside.

  Hao Ren dragged its back legs and pulled it out.

  Little White was different from the past. Its two round ears dropped on both sides of its head, and it looked dispirited.

  “Sigh… its parents are gone, and Little White is an orphan now,” Hao Ren thought.

  Hao Ren felt very sorry for Little White. He used to pat Little White all the time to annoy it, but he couldn’t bully it today. He hugged it in his arms and rubbed its head gently.

  Little White shrunk in Hao Ren’s arms and looked up with its black eyes, which were filled with tears.

  “Alright, alright…” Hao Ren brushed its hair softly to comfort it.

  Since Little White was now a level 2 demon beast, it hadn’t activated its intelligence fully yet. However, snow lions were one of the smartest breeds of demon beasts. Besides, it was brought out of the lion cave by Hao Ren and had the closest relationship with Hao Ren.

  Wu….

  Little White whined, and its body was shaking.

  When it saw Hao Ren, the hidden sadness came out all at once. Even though it liked to be with girls and run around with Zhen Congming, it still had the deepest bond with Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren was the first cultivator it met, as well as the first cultivator who took care of it aside from its parents. This kind of bond was solid in Little White’s heart.

  “Okay…” Hao Ren dragged his tone and felt sad when he saw Little White, who was usually careless, had teary eyes.

  “We will take good care of you. Look, Yujia, Zi, Linlin, and Lili all like you.” Hao Ren didn’t care whether or not Little White understood, but he spoke softly to it.

  “Don’t cry, Little White. Your glory days are waiting for you.” Hao Ren scratched the fur on its head and said with a smile.

  “Don�
�t cry, don’t cry…” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili came beside Hao Ren without him noticing and rubbed Little White’s back as well.

  Little White sniffed its nose as tear still filled its eyes, and it looked at Hao Ren, Lu Linlin, and Lu Lili again before finally stopping sobbing.

  Hao Ren let Little White out of his arms, and it turned into its snow lion form and lifted Hao Ren, Lu Linlin, and Lu Lili.

  Hua…

  The golden paws of Little White’s shot out four clouds of flames.

  “It is finally feeling a bit better.” Hao Ren, who could sense Little White’s mind a little, saw this animal getting a bit better.

  “Little White’s parents didn’t even get to level 1. I must help Little White get more powerful.” Sitting on Little White’s back and traveling through Ethereal Summit, Hao Ren thought to himself.

  On the grasses, more than a dozen snow lion cubs raised their heads and looked at Little White enviously

  They didn’t know how to transform yet, and they sat on the grasses and looked at Little White flying over their heads before rolling over one by one. Their silly postures were cuter than Little White.

  Hao Ren jumped off from Little White, landed on the grasses, and was about to grab a cub to play. However, these snow lion cubs ran away instantly.

  Little White landed with Lu Linlin and Lu Lili on its back, and these dozens of snow lion cubs quickly surrounded them.

  Gululu… Gululu…

  Wherever Little White ran on the grasses, these snow lions followed.

  Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, who were still sitting on Little White’s back, laughed happily. Seeing dozens of small, white, silly, and fluffy lion cubs following them, any girl would find this scene adorable.

  “Haha, Little White is finally alright.” Seeing Little White playing with the cubs, Xie Yujia, who was organizing the garden, walked over.

  Those snow lion cubs that were chasing Little White earlier instantly rushed to Xie Yujia and jumped around her legs.

  Just like how Hao Ren brought Little White out of the lion cave, these lion cubs had deep bonds with Xie Yujia since she brought them out.

  Especially when Little White was depressed these days and didn’t pay attention to these lion cubs, they got even closer to Xie Yujia since she had been taking care of them.

  “Little White should be alright.” Hao Ren walked towards Xie Yujia. “How’s the situation with gathering spiritual herbs?”

  The snow lion cubs ran away immediately when they saw Hao Ren walking toward them. The one that was in Xie Yujia’s arms couldn’t run away, so it stared at Hao Ren with caution.

  “Sigh… I’m not the bad guy,” Hao Ren thought as he shook his head sadly.

  “Nowadays, many people come to the entrance of the valley to ask for pills, and the white jade bulletin board is filled to the max. Some had good seeds of spiritual herbs, so I exchanged for them with pills. I collected three spiritual herbs for catalyzing the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus,” Xie Yujia answered.

  “How did you raise these cubs?” Hao Ren asked Xie Yujia.

  One Little White already ate a lot. With the addition of dozens of snow lion cubs, Hao Ren didn’t know how to take care of them.

  “I organized a spiritual field to plant some low-level spiritual herbs that snow lions love to eat. Their poop is very nutritious for the spiritual herbs and can nourish the spiritual field. I probably won’t limit them. They can move around freely in the valley as long as array formations are preventing them from running outside.”

  “Also, there are more and more cultivators asking for pills, and there is more information for exchange outside of the valley. We’ll have to organize it every day. I’ve already ordered the surrounding three sects to deal with these matters. If the circumstance isn’t very urgent or it doesn’t involve high-level items, the outsiders could contact those three sects instead of leaving messages behind at the entrance.”

  “As of those three sects, I send them three foundation establishment pills every month. Since I’m worried that they might get too complicated, I ordered them to pay us a hundred spirit stones every month.”

  “What do you think of the arrangements?” Xie Yujia said one by one as she played with the snow lion cub in her arms and asked for Hao Ren’s opinion.

  “Sounds great…” Hao Ren was dumbfounded because he didn’t even know how to deal with these trivial things. However, Xie Yujia, who used to be the Class President, arranged everything systematically.

  “Whoever gets to have Xie Yujia as his wife will be happy for his whole life. She’s gentle, smart, and absolutely the best at housekeeping!” Hao Ren thought as he looked at Xie Yujia.

  “As long as you don’t have any objections!” Seeing Hao Ren agreeing with her, Xie Yujia slightly blushed, stuck her tongue out, and said pleasantly.

  In order not to have Hao Ren think that she was too controlling, she deliberately resigned from her duty as the Class President. However, in Ethereal Summit, she again had full authority over the operations. She was worried that Hao Ren would say something about it.

  Hao Ren looked at her delighted expression, smiled, and suddenly thought of something. He grabbed the bronze demonic bow that was the size of half of a thumb from his necklace.

  “What is this?” Xie Yujia blinked her big eyes and asked.

  From Xie Yujia’s perspective, this bow-shaped ornament was delicate and charming. It didn’t look like the cheap stuff from a vendor on the street; the material seemed to be gold but darker, more ancient and more outstanding.

  “This is for you.” Hao Ren put the demonic bow in Xie Yujia’s hands. “Feel it and see if you can control this dharma treasure.”

  “Dharma treasure?” Xie Yujia was slightly surprised. She cultivated Life-Death Notes, and she still hadn’t owned a dharma treasure. The dharma treasures that Zi ‘robbed’ were currently at Ethereal Summit but were too ordinary.

  “Try it,” Hao Ren said with a smile.

  Hao Ren cultivated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll and didn’t need a dharma treasure at all. Although this demonic bow could be paired with his sword energies, he still had the Mystic Water Sword Techniques from Zhao Haoran. He wanted to practice his sword techniques and didn’t plan on switching to bow and arrows.

  Xie Yujia’s five-elemental Life-Death Notes essentially also cultivated five elements at the same time. Her realm was still low, and she still hadn’t mastered the Life-Death Notes yet.

  If Xie Yujia could use this dharma treasure, it would be a good thing.

  “Um…” Xie Yujia held the demonic bow, closed her eyes, and slowly injected her nature essence inside.

  The bronze demonic bow released a light-yellow glow, gradually turning from the size of half a thumb to palm-size before growing to a meter tall.

  Buzz! Buzz!

  The demonic bow’s gold bowstring vibrated slightly after Xie Yujia injected some of her nature essence into it.

  521 Welcome Master!

  “Ha, that’s incredible!” Xie Yujia opened her eyes, held the semi-heavy long bow, and yelled with delight.

  Xie Yujia was very popular in school, and she was young and cute. There were times she was energetic and relaxed.

  The bronze bow turned into a long bow when she put nature essence into it. When she saw it, she looked like a surprised girl who received an unexpected gift. She was incredibly happy.

  Hao Ren quietly looked at her and smiled. Xie Yujia had a side of her that was energetic, but when she was with him, she showed off her ‘motherly’ temperament more.

  “Where did this come from?” Xie Yujia’s asked with her eyes wide open with excitement. Xie Yujia loved this ancient long bow so much she wouldn’t let go of it.

  She wasn’t into swords, but she loved this long bow that could transform from small to big and big to small.

  In reality, there were many girls that like archery as a sport. Xie Yujia was normally quiet, but there were times she would be energetic too. At her core, she
was a sporty girl.

  “Hehe, the Dragon God Shrine gave it to me. I don’t use long bows, so I’m giving it to you,” Hao Ren said.

  He didn’t mention the things that happen in the Thousand Evil Sea because he didn’t want Xie Yujia to worry.

  “The Dragon God Shrine even give these kinds of things…” Xie Yujia examined this bronze demonic bow and saw that there were three characters engraved in the position where she held it. It said ‘Sky-Breaking Bow.’

  She would be happy with anything Hao Ren gave her, even if it was just some small gift. This was the warm feeling that was close to one she’d get from dating.

  This was, however, a good treasure. That’s why Xie Yujia loved it even more.

  “You should try whether you could use it,” Hao Ren looked at her with a smile and said.

  “How do you use it?” Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren with a bit of doubt.

  “You could probably shoot your Life-Death Runes with this bow,” Hao Ren suggested.

  “OK, I’ll try.” Xie Yujia put her right hand on the bowstring. She accumulated sufficient spiritual energy to pull the bow and release it.

  She was wearing a light-yellow T-shirt and a maxi-length skirt. When she stood up straight and pulled the bow, she looked like a female hero from ancient times.

  Especially because her chest was large, when her arms were stretched out, they looked even bigger. Hao Ren couldn’t help but stare at them.

  “Spells’ Origin Note Scroll…” Xie Yujia softly uttered these five words.

  A silver light shot out from Xie Yujia’s fingertips. The rays slowly lengthened and formed a thin line.

  The brilliance of Spells’ Origin Note Scroll was that it was formed from the five elements of the nature on the basis of Yin and Yang and life and death. It was able to transform into many different shapes and forms and could ultimately turn into different techniques.

  Hao Ren’s Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll could simulate any treasure when he cultivated it to its highest level while the ultimate stage of Xie Yujia’s “Spells’ Origin Note Scroll” could simulate any Direct Knowing Techniques.
