Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  “Then, give her one beauty pill,” Hao Ren said.

  “What!?” Zhao Yanzi who had been blocked by the Lu sisters jumped up suddenly.

  Every woman loved to have beautiful looks, and the female cultivators were no exception. Compared with mortal women, female cultivators could easily live for hundreds of years and thus had a more ardent wish to sustain their beauty.

  For most female cultivators, the price of hundreds of spirit stones was too high, almost as expensive as a foundation establishment pill which was craved by most of the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. However, after getting the foundation establishment pill, they would be at least mid-aged when they reached the Foundation Establishment Realm. If they acquired beauty pills at that time, they could only retain their mid-ages looks.

  As the daughter of the sect master of Sky Mountain, Duan Yao enjoyed all kinds of cultivation resources and didn’t lack foundation establishment pills that were craved by most cultivators.

  With top-tier talent, she was taken good care of by several powerful cultivators at Nascent Soul Realm since she was born. At about two years old, she had been taught by her Uncle-Master, who was the most senior and powerful Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in the sect.

  That was why she had reached the Core Formation Realm at an early age of 16.

  However, Sky Mountain Sect which excelled in elixir making didn’t know how to make beauty pills since none of the elixir masters wanted to spend their time on the elixir that could only sustain looks but had no effects on realm elevation. Even if they tried to make them, they failed, wasting lots of precious herbs.

  Duan Yao tried to force some of the elixir masters in the sect to make beauty pills, and the experiments all failed. After knowing these incidents, her father forbad all the elixir masters in Sky Mountain Sect to make Beauty Pills and ordered them to focus on the foundation establishment pills and other elixirs which were useful to the disciples. Otherwise, they would be kicked out of the sect.

  Discouraged by the failures and reprimanded by her father, Duan Yao turned her mind to purchasing beauty pills and asked some of her senior brothers in the sect to search for them on Fifth and Sixth Heavens. However, none of them could bring her news about the pills.

  Last time, she used the excuse of White Sand Sect’s incident to do some investigation with her Senior Brother Ye on Fifth Heaven. However, instead of finding beauty pills, she had made enemies with Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren.

  After two months of grounding, she was released from confinement in the back mountain, and she planned to play obedient in the sect to placate her father. However, when she heard that the Herb King Master who was living in Ethereal Summit on Fifth Heaven could make beauty pills, she was tempted and decided to slip onto Fifth Heaven to ask for the pills.

  If she could get the beauty pill, she would be satisfied even if her father gave her a good beating!

  “Hey! Hey!”

  Seeing Hao Ren walking to the entrance of the valley with a beauty pill in his hand, Zhao Yanzi ran over immediately and spread her arms to stop him.

  “You can’t give it to her!” Zhao Yanzi glared fiercely.

  “She is lingering around Ethereal Summit. If Sky Mountain Sect follows her here, it won’t be a good thing for us,” Hao Ren said with a frown.

  “Well!” Zhao Yanzi spread her arms and looked at Hao Ren with a pout. “You… you find her pretty, right?”

  Some unnamed jealousy rose in Zhao Yanzi’s mind, realizing that Duan Yao was in fact quite beautiful, despite her rude manners.

  “Hao Ren must like her since he wants to give her a beauty pill! Besides… She is the daughter of the sect master of Sky Mountain Sect, which sounds quite dashing!” she thought.

  Suddenly, Zhao Yanzi found Duan Yao to be a significant threat to her! Young, beautiful, vivacious and came from a good family! She was even at a higher realm compared with Zhao Yanzi!

  “She even calls him a pervert! Maybe she is interested in him as well!” she thought.

  “I don’t care! You can’t give her the beauty pill!” Gritting her teeth, Zhao Yanzi continued to stand before Hao Ren with her arms spread as she thought, “This Duan Yao is a great threat to me! If she likes Hao Ren, I don’t even have the strength to stop her! Besides, this Duan Yao looks like a fighter, not someone who will easily back down like Xie Yujia!”

  Exasperated, Hao Ren glanced at Duan Yao who was outside of the valley and sighed, putting away the pill. He just didn’t want to make trouble for themselves. Besides, one beauty pill wasn’t something precious for them.

  However, Zhao Yanzi hated Duan Yao and wouldn’t want to give her anything.

  “Ok. I won’t give her the pill if you can make her leave,” Hao Ren said.

  “Ok. Just watch how I do it!” Gritting her teeth viciously, Zhao Yanzi drew out her Purple Green Treasure Sword and jumped onto Little White before flying out of the array formation from the back of the valley.

  530 If I Don’t Kill You, My Last Name Isn’t Duan

  Seeing her rushing out viciously, Hao Ren laughed.

  The aggressive Duan Yao and ferocious Zhao Yanzi had been in conflict more than once, and Hao Ren was curious how Zhao Yanzi would force Duan Yao back.

  Riding on Little White, Zhao Yanzi rounded to the front of the valley from the back in the blink of an eye.

  Duan Yao who had been waiting for a reply looked back immediately when she heard the whistling noise behind her.

  “Zhao Yanzi from City Sect is here to ask Master for pills!” Riding on Little White, Zhao Yanzi landed at the entrance of the valley quickly.

  Duan Yao froze for a moment, surprised that someone else also came here to ask for pills. Then, her eyes widened when she saw that the newcomer was Zhao Yanzi.

  “Well! It’s you!” Zhao Yanzi pretended to be surprised.

  “Pu…” Standing inside of the valley, Hao Ren burst into laughter.

  Zhao Yanzi was smart to pretend that she also came here to ask for pills, so Duan Yao wouldn’t suspect her relationship with Ethereal Summit.

  Sure enough, Duan Yao overcame her surprise and drew out her Green Water Longsword, glaring at Zhao Yanzi. “B*tch!”

  Last time when Zhao Yanzi broke into Sky Mountain Sect at night, she took Duan Yu’s jade pendant after beating her. Before that, Zhao Yanzi had robbed her cultivation technique and treasure sword, making her take all the blame…

  Thinking of all the old grudges, Duan Yao wished that she could kill Zhao Yanzi.

  “Well, you are brave since you dare to fight me on the territory of the Master,” Zhao Yanzi said and backed off several steps, pretending to be fearful.

  Hearing her words, Duan Yao who had already drawn out her sword became cautious. She glared at Zhao Yanzi, saying, “B*itch! You can’t escape from me today!”

  With her Core Formation Realm, she thought that Zhao Yanzi couldn’t escape from her anyway, and the priority right now was to get the Beauty Pill. At this thought, she turned back to the valley and waited for the reply of the Forefather. Indeed, if they fought here, they would displease the Forefather, and he would never give her the Beauty Pill.

  Of course, she believed that Zhao Yanzi, who was at mid-tier Foundation Establishment Realm, wouldn’t dare to fight here. After she acquired the beauty pill, she would ambush Zhao Yanzi near the valley, and the latter wouldn’t be able to escape.

  Hua!

  Just when she was confident that Zhao Yanzi wouldn’t dare to attack her, Zhao Yanzi suddenly stabbed the Purple Green Treasure Sword toward her.

  Tianshu Sword Technique!

  “You…” Startled, Duan Yao immediately dodged, but the sword tore open her sleeve, exposing her white arm.

  Zhao Yanzi slashed out the Purple Green Treasure Sword again.

  Tianxuan Sword Technique!

  The second sword technique was more complicated than the first one. Surprised that Zhao Yanzi had mastered the second sword technique, Duan Yao lifted her Green Water Sword to
block, but it was cut into two halves by the Purple Green Treasure Sword which continued to advance, leaving a bloody scratch on her tender arm.

  In pain, Duan Yao clenched her teeth and backed off two steps. She glared at Zhao Yanzi while holding the wound on her left arm with her right hand,

  “How dare you fight on the territory of Herb King Master?” Duan Yao held her anger in check for the sake of the beauty pill.

  Without a word, Zhao Yanzi slashed out the Purple Green Treasure Sword, launching out Tianshu and Tianxuan together.

  Dang!

  Duan Yao lifted her broken sword to block, and it was cut into two halves again.

  As one of the best treasures at Sky Mountain Sect, the Purple Green Treasure Sword was extremely sharp.

  Duan Yao only brought an ordinary sword on this secret trip, not daring to tell her father that she had lost the treasure of Sky Mountain Sect.

  However, how could this ordinary sword compete with the Purple Green Treasure Sword?

  Seeing Zhao Yanzi hacking toward her with her own sword and her own techniques, Duan Yao got furious.

  Guessing that Herb King Master could see what was happening outside of the valley, she yelled, “Master, I don’t want to offend you, but this evil woman is outrageous and doesn’t respect you at all!”

  She yelled and dodged, trying not to fight with Zhao Yanzi.

  “Yell! Yell! No one will mind you even if you lose your voice by yelling!” Zhao Yanzi slashed the sword toward Duan Yao again.

  Standing in the valley, Hao Ren shook his head with a smile when he saw Zhao Yanzi forcing Duan Yao to retreat continuously.

  With the aid of the level 2 Little White, Zhao Yanzi wasn’t at a disadvantage when she fought with Duan Yao who didn’t have the level 5 snow lion with her.

  Hua!

  Again, Zhao Yanzi’s sword cut into Duan Yao’s shoulder.

  Hiss… The shoulder of Duan Yao’s clothes was torn open, and blood gushed out, dyeing her clothes red immediately.

  “That’s enough!” Duan Yao was furious. Ignoring that fact that she might not be able to get the beauty pill, she took out a dagger and stabbed at Zhao Yanzi swiftly.

  Hao Ren was startled, but Zhao Yanzi promptly blocked the dagger with the Purple Green Treasure Sword and jumped onto Little White’s back.

  Roar! With burning flames appearing on its four golden paws, Little White flew up with Zhao Yanzi on its back.

  “B*tch! Don’t run!” Duan Yao threw the dagger with her right hand, and the silver dagger turned into a white light, shooting toward Zhao Yanzi.

  As a girl from a well-known family, Duan Yao certainly had one to two dharma treasures for defense, and the dagger was one of them. Usually, Duan Yao used the Purple Green Treasure Sword and rarely took out the dagger.

  Now that Zhao Yanzi had taken her Purple Green Treasure Sword, and the Green Water Sword which she took from the sect had been cut into pieces by Zhao Yanzi, she had no choice but to use the dagger.

  The dagger drew a strange arc in the air while it shot toward Zhao Yanzi’s head.

  Zhao Yanzi was shocked since the dragon cultivators were used to direct close-range combat, and she was inexperienced with shooting dharma treasures as a method of attack.

  Ding!

  Fortunately, the Purple Green Treasure Sword was not an ordinary dharma treasure. With her clumsy sword techniques, Zhao Yanzi slashed out the sword and sent the dagger to another direction while she broke into cold sweat out of fear.

  “How can you fight me with such clumsy sword techniques!” Duan Yao snorted and decided that since she couldn’t get the beauty pill, she would take back her sword and jade pendant and bring the evil woman back to Sky Mountain Sect as a captive!

  With a slight movement of her fingers on her right hand, the dagger immediately turned around and shot toward Zhao Yanzi’s back.

  Under Duan Yao’s control, the dagger was as swift as Hao Ren’s sword energies. However, she could only control one dagger while Hao Ren could master hundreds of sword energies.

  Zhao Yanzi was still sweating from the attack on her head a moment ago, and the dagger shooting toward her heart from the back brought chills all through her body.

  She was surprised at Duan Yao’s abilities!

  Seeing that Hao Ren had no intentions of coming out and helping her, Zhao Yanzi panicked and clutched Little White’s fur.

  “Little White! Little White!”

  Boom! Little White’s paws released seven-colored light and flew with all its strength.

  Duan Yao’s dagger couldn’t catch up with Zhao Yanzi! Although Little White was only a level 2 spirit beast, its flying speed could rival that of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator due to the dharma treasure Zhen Congming had given it.

  Standing at the entrance of the valley, Duan Yao was angry with impatience. Without Luojia, she couldn’t catch up with Zhao Yanzi, and Zhao Yanzi had broken the Green Water Sword which could be used as a flying sword.

  Zhao Yanzi who was sweating laughed with relief when she saw that the dagger couldn’t catch up with her. Then, she turned Little White back.

  “You…” Duan Yao looked up at Zhao Yanzi and Little White in a fury and put all her force into the dagger, but the dagger was always a dozen or so meters behind Zhao Yanzi.

  Sitting on Little White’s back, Zhao Yanzi turned circles around Duan Yao in the air leisurely before the entrance of the valley, consuming Duan Yao’s nature essence.

  “If I don’t kill you today, my last name isn’t Duan!” Determined, Duan Yao bit open her finger and spat out blood into the air.

  The dagger which was chasing after Zhao Yanzi ‘slowly’ suddenly accelerated while it turned from white to red, shooting toward Zhao Yanzi rapidly and unnoticeable to the naked eye. This speed was even faster than Little White.

  Hao Ren tried to help, but it was too late.

  The dagger shot toward Zhao Yanzi’s heart in a flash.

  Hua!

  Little White suddenly opened its mouth, and a white light beam shot out from its mouth.

  Bang! Zhao Yanzi’s chest received a heavy strike, and the great pain drove her from Little White’s back.

  Hao Ren shot out of the array formation almost as fast as lightning and caught Zhao Yanzi.

  “Pervert! You’ve been lurking nearby!” Seeing Hao Ren, Duan Yao widened her eyes and yelled in a fury.

  She looked quite like Zhao Yanzi, but the difference was that Zhao Yanzi faked her anger most of the time while Duan Yao was serious.

  Busy dealing with Zhao Yanzi, Duan Yao didn’t see that Hao Ren rushed out from the misty valley, thinking he flew over from somewhere outside of the valley.

  “Are you ok?” Hao Ren looked at Zhao Yanzi anxiously and almost reached out to check her injury on her chest.

  Ruff… Little White landed and barked continually.

  Following the direction of its golden paws, Hao Ren saw a dagger frozen in ice on the ground. He immediately knew that Little White had spat out a cloud of ice energy to freeze the dagger, and the thing that struck Zhao Yanzi wasn’t the sharp dagger but the hard ice block.

  “I’m dying… I’m dying…” Zhao Yanzi opened her eyes, and tears gushed out of her eyes when she saw Hao Ren.

  She had just begun to like Hao Ren, and now she would die on Fifth Heaven… Her parents… She hadn’t started her Grade Nine yet… All kinds of irrelevant thoughts flashed through her mind. When she saw Hao Ren holding her, she burst into tears.

  “You’re not dying… Little White saved you…” Hao Ren comforted her in a hurry while pointing at Little White not far from them.

  Duan Yao looked at them coldly, thinking that they were a weird couple. However, she was a bit touched when she saw Hao Ren holding Zhao Yanzi in his arms, comforting the crying girl.

  “Pervert! I’ll kill you too!” Gritting her teeth, she tried to regain her control of the dagger but found that she couldn’t sense it.

  Pant! Pant… Little White picked up the d
agger that was frozen in ice with its teeth and trotted to Hao Ren’s side, putting the dagger in his hand.

  531 Who Is More Vicious?

  Zhao Yanzi, who was crying, froze for a moment when she saw the dagger in Little White’s mouth. She picked up the big ice block from Hao Ren’s hand and studied the dagger that was frozen inside.

  Standing a dozen meters behind Hao Ren, Duan Yao was astonished and didn’t know what to do next.

  Although her sword techniques were more powerful, and her realm was greater, Duan Yao’s experience in the world was limited as well.

  Experienced cultivators would have discarded their dharma treasures and fled, but she stood where she was, staring at Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi in a daze.

  “I’m not dead…” Understanding this important point, Zhao Yanzi looked down at her chest and saw that her clothes were intact. She stood up and glared at Duan Yao. “You said that you won’t use your last name if you don’t kill me, right?”

  Alarmed, Duan Yao looked at her while she backed off involuntarily.

  She felt that although Zhao Yanzi’s realm was lower than hers, the girl wasn’t easy to deal with. Then, she began to run toward the outside of the valley with all her strength.

  “Little White!” Zhao Yanzi ordered.

  With a low roar, Little White dashed forward in colorful lights and blocked Duan Yao.

  Duan Yao had thought nothing of the level 2 snow lion. However, she was now horrified after seeing it possessed both ice-elemental and fire-elemental powers.

  At Sky Mountain Sect, only the level 4 snow lions could use ice-elemental techniques, but this level 2 snow lion could do it, far surpassing the power of ordinary level 2 snow lions.

  She didn’t know that the number of elixir pills Little White had eaten surpassed the number of elixir pills all the snow lions in the back mountain of Sky Mountain Sect had had.

  “Want to run? In your dreams!” Feeling that she was fine except for the pain in her chest left by the ice, Zhao Yanzi got out of Hao Ren’s arms and glared at Duan Yao.

  She wanted to rush over and strike at Duan Yao. However, she stayed close to Hao Ren since she didn’t know if Duan Yao had more powerful dharma treasures.
