Even though Su Han was a top-tier Qian-level cultivator, she was shocked for a few seconds. Until that woman gradually approached, Su Han hurriedly put her hands in front of her and prepared for a fight.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili whose eyes opened wide also stood by Hao Ren’s sides subconsciously.
In recent years, the trend of ancient costumes was slowly reviving, but even beautiful girls couldn’t compare with this woman.
“Hi, may I ask where LingZhao Elementary School is?” A bell-like, crisp voice entered Hao Ren’s ear.
Hao Ren looked at her and felt like this woman should be about 30 years old, but she maintained well, looking much younger. When she waved her hand, it seemed to move energy between heaven and earth.
The figure under the wrap-around skirt was elegantly curvy, the waist was fragilely thin, and the pink neck was like white jade. If she were in ancient times, she would be like the legendary Su Daji or Bao Si.
Zhou Liren, who was just staring at Su Han, now looked at this woman through the glass wall, and he was almost suffocating. The other students were not much better.
The heavy rain just stopped, and the small square outside the cafeteria was still empty. This fascinating woman walked over slowly as if she was standing on a stage.
“Hello?” That woman walked in front of Hao Ren and called again.
“Oh!” Hao Ren reacted. “LingZhao Elementary School, why are you going there?”
This question should not have been asked, but Hao Ren saw her and instinctively felt something was wrong, so he could not help but inquire.
Xie Yujia looked at her from a close distance and was utterly shocked. Not only because this woman was glamorous, but her aura made it impossible for people around her to move.
“I am looking for my son, Zhen Congming,” she replied as she looked at Hao Ren again.
“If you are not busy, can you lead the way?”
Zhen Congming! Hao Ren’s chin twisted.
The demon king who forced a deputy shrine master of the Dragon God Shrine to show up was actually Zhen Congming’s mom!
“Oh, ok.” Hao Ren stood up. He was surprised but also worried about Zhen Congming.
Snap! Su Han’s palm suddenly buckled Hao Ren’s shoulder.
“How about… I lead the way?” Su Han looked at her and said.
“Hahaha.” The bewitching woman covered her mouth with her right hand as she laughed, “I want him to lead the way.”
Her charm almost froze all the male students in the cafeteria.
“Sister Su, don’t make me angry.” The woman looked at Su Han and gradually squinted her eyes.
Su Han clenched her teeth. She wanted to say something but was suddenly pushed back by a couple of steps by an invisible force, and her hand let go of Hao Ren’s shoulder.
Eternal Demon King!
One of the most powerful demon kings among the big demon kings!
There was no fight at all. In just a glance, Su Han was pushed back. Su Han who had never been afraid now shivered slightly.
“When demon king appears, the world will be destroyed!” This was a saying from ancient times.
Whenever a demon king came out, the world would be turned into chaos! A little demon king could destroy half an ancient empire, and a big demon king could overturn the world and a dynasty!
Even Su Han could not imagine the concept of an Eternal Demon King!
Since ancient times, the cultivation sects had been fighting each other, but they all had a common goal, which was to kill the demon kings and get back control of the Demon Sea!
There had been several major wars between the cultivation sects and the Demon Sea, so the outskirts of the Demon Sea were ancient battlefields! The Sky-Breaking Bow which Hao Ren picked up from the Demon Sea was a lost dharma treasure of an ancient cultivator.
“I will go with you,” Hao Ren pushed the table away, stood up, and said.
“Thank you,” the woman said with a smile.
This soft voice almost made the students in the cafeteria swoon. These young dragon cultivators outside the cafeteria were impacted quite hard as well.
However, seeing Su Han’s alerted expression, they knew that this woman was not simple. They tried to stay vigilant.
“Yujia, please take over from here.” Hao Ren turned and said to Xie Yujia.
Xie Yujia looked at Hao Ren with concern but did not know what to do.
“Gongzi…” Lu Linlin and Lu Lili moved a few steps forward and wanted to follow Hao Ren, but they heard Hao Ren say to them, “Stay here and help Yujia.”
Hao Ren walked forward, and the woman smiled and followed Hao Ren to the main entrance of East Ocean University.
Her body swayed a little, and even her shadow in the sun was very graceful. As she left, the pressure on the students in and out the cafeteria was suddenly lifted.
The woman who suddenly appeared was too enchanting that they forgot to take photos with their phones.
“If there are any problems, call me through the token,” Su Han’s cold voice appeared in Hao Ren’s mind.
“Understood,” Hao Ren answered her through the token.
Su Han always acted as if Hao Ren owed her money, but she cared about Hao Ren.
“How long has Zhen Congming been living in your home?” the woman asked.
He moved slowly in the wrap-around skirt, and the water stains on the ground spread out automatically. Wherever she went, the flowers on both sides of the road that had been hit by heavy rain burst open with fragrance.
If it weren’t for her bewitching style, Hao Ren would have thought that she was a goddess. It seemed that heaven and earth were moved by her.
Hao Ren thought that it was fortunately since the students had not come out yet. Otherwise, they would be surprised to see the flowers blooming in an instant.
“Probably one to two months,” Hao Ren thought about it and said.
“I see.” The woman nodded slightly. “I have not left the Demon Sea for more than 300 years, so it took me a few days to get used to land. However, I got the kids of the Dragon God Shrine worried.”
Her voice was soft and very pleasing to the ear.
Her gazes were so powerful that the fishes scrambled in the lake when she looked at them, and the cicadas went silent one by one as she looked over.
It seemed like everything in the world was afraid of Zhen Congming’s mom. The flowers bloomed at her will, and the creatures in the area didn’t dare to make noise.
“This purple gold hairpin is our meeting gift.” She lifted her hand and took out a golden hairpin from her hair and handed it to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren paused for a second. He didn’t think much and took the purple gold hairpin.
After receiving this gift from Zhen Congming’s mom, Hao Ren felt she was not malicious since she was acting like an elderly.
“Thank you, Auntie.” Hao Ren put the purple gold hairpin into his necklace. So far, he did not feel the special features of this ornament.
“Hahaha…” She laughed and said. “Auntie? Okay, you can call me, auntie.”
When she began cultivating, even Qin Shihuang was not born yet, and the Shrine Master of the Dragon God Shrine was only a small baby in her eyes, but Hao Ren actually called her, Auntie.
“Does Zhen Congming behave on land?” she asked.
“Congming…” Hao Ren hesitated for a few seconds. “He’s alright.”
Since Zhen Congming’s mom suddenly appeared, he was not mentally prepared, and he did not know what kind of personality she had. So, he could not answer at will.
“Auntie, what is your name?” Hao Ren took her to the main entrance of East Ocean University and asked her.
“Name?” She thought for a moment and replied, “You can call me Mrs. Hong or Lady Zhen.”
“Okay, Auntie,” Hao Ren said.
He did not change how he addressed her and still called her auntie; this made her feel more intimate.
She glanced at Hao Ren and th
ought that Hao Ren was more likable than Zhen Congming. Although Zhen Congming was her child, he was very disobedient. Otherwise, she would not have handed him over to Qiu Niu as a discipline.
They crossed the main entrance of East Ocean University and went to LingZhao Elementary School, which was next to LingZhao Middle School.
LingZhao Elementary School was preparing to start school half a day later than LingZhao Middle School. There were rows of cars parked at the entrance, and those parents were sending their children to school.
The sudden appearance of Lady Zhen attracted the attention of all the males. These dads had never seen such a beautiful woman before, and they simply wondered if they were witnessing an ancient painting that was moving.
“You… are a parent of which student?” The female teacher who was responsible for welcoming the parents was surprised by the beauty of Lady Zhen. She forced herself to stop Hao Ren and Lady Zhen and asked.
“I am the mother of Zhen Congming who is in Grade Four, Class Two,” she replied.
“Okay, the parent-teacher meeting will be in Building A!” The female teacher pointed to a white building inside the campus.
Lady Zhen faintly smiled and walked into the school. This smile almost disoriented the female teacher.
“Little guy, you are Hao Ren, right? Once I have seen Zhen Congming, I will go back soon.” Lady Zhen turned and smiled before waving at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren could still maintain his state of mind, but the male parents who were about to enter the school were all dizzy and wobbly.
Lady Zhen walked toward Building A, and the white flower petals flew up from the floor beds around her; it was extremely beautiful.
Hao Ren stood at the gate of LingZhao Elementary School. Although the heavy rain soaked his clothes, he had been wet from his sweat.
As Lady Zhen gradually entered Building A, the pressure on Hao Ren gradually reduced.
There was no such pressure even when facing Old Grandma who was a Soul Formation Realm master!
“Are you okay…” Su Han’s voice rang in Hao Ren’s mind.
“I’m fine,” Hao Ren wiped his sweat and replied.
“Hehe, your realm is too low, and you should go back to work. I will come back to test you later.”
The voice of Lady Zhen sounded in the middle of their conversation.Qin Shi Huang was the founder of the Qin dynasty and was the first emperor of a unified China. He was born on February 18, 259 BC.
551 The Nine Dragon Palace Agreement!
Hearing Lady Zhen’s voice, Hao Ren and Su Han immediately stopped talking. After all, with her unfathomable cultivation strength, Lady Zhen could easily break through inspector’ tokens.
After crossing the street and going back into East Ocean University, Hao Ren returned to the entrance of Green Hill Cafeteria and found that most of the students had left after the storm.
Other clubs once again moved their desks outside, but it was hard to recruit more students since the lunch hour was over, and the afternoon classes had begun.
Sitting by the Calligraphy Club’s booth, Su Han stood up and walked over to him, asking, “What happened?”
“It’s ok. She’s Zhen Congming’s mom,” Hao Ren said.
“Eternal Demon King…” Su Han murmured three words.
“What is an eternal demon king?” Hao Ran asked.
Su Han shook her head and didn’t answer.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili chimed in, “Eternal Demon King is a title. In the Demon Sea, once a demon beast passes the heavenly tribulation and transforms, he or she can be called Small Demon King; they would need to start cultivating again as a human. After reaching the pinnacle again, they would become Big Demon Kings. If they can pass another heavenly tribulation, they would be called Eternal Demon King, which is the immortal realm. They can live on for an eternity and be as powerful as heaven and earth.
Hao Ren remembered that demon beasts must experience two heavenly tribulations to reach the peak.
“Has Zhen Congming’s mom passed both tribulations already?” he thought.
“How are their powers compared with that of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators?”
“They need to pass two heavenly tribulations, so they are naturally more powerful than Soul Formation Realm cultivators. However, there are different power levels among the Soul Formation Realm cultivators, so it’s hard to make a comparison,” Lu Lili answered cautiously.
As long as they had reached the Soul Formation Realm, the human cultivators could live freely and permanently if they didn’t receive any destructive strikes. It was usually the power of their techniques that determined the strengths of the Soul Formation Realm cultivators.
The members of other clubs nearby were envious when they saw Hao Ren talking to Su Han so intimately.
As to the gorgeous woman who appeared a moment ago, she was as unreal as a dream to them.
“Brother Hao, we’ve finished the recruitment, and there are altogether 527 members,” Lu Qi walked over and looked at Su Han cautiously before reporting to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren who had been talking to Su Han turned to look at the Calligraphy Club’s booth and saw that the students were all gone, and the two bags before Xie Yujia were filled with money.
The presidents and executives the other clubs looked at the 250,000-yuan cash in front of Xie Yujia with envy and greed.
With the Calligraphy Club, Hao Ren had pulled in over 500 students in one day, making it look like a magic show instead of club recruitment! Hao Ren’s ‘business performance’ within the last two hours exceeded what they could achieve in one year!
“One is missing,” Hao Ren looked through the name list and said.
“Who?” Lu Qi looked at Hao Ren in surprise.
The two inspectors in East Ocean University who were also the only two inspectors in East Ocean City asked all the young cultivators to join the club, and Lu Qi didn’t believe that any cultivators would dare to refuse their orders.
“Xu Ke, a freshman from the Mechanic Engineering Program,” Hao Ren rechecked the name list and said.
“Xu Ke?” Lu Qi frowned at the unfamiliar name.
“Forget it; I’ll deal with it.” Hao Ren put away the booklet and placed it against Lu Qi’s chest. “You worked hard today. You can keep the name list, and I’ll put the membership fees in your charge after I deposit it in the bank.”
“This…” Lu Qi was astonished.
“Another thing. Pick a big classroom for tomorrow’s general meeting,” Hao Ren continued.
“Ok… Ok!” Lu Qi nodded.
As a new star in the Go circle, he was admired by many people. However, in the world of cultivation, he came from the remote fire-elemental dragon clan in the Wude Forrest and thus had slim prospects.
If he could gain the trust of Su Han or Hao Ren, he would be one step closer to the Dragon God Shrine and his dreams. After all, no matter how well he did in the mortal world, he was a dragon cultivator, and he had to gain his status with his strength and realm.
Despite his age, Hao Ren was now already a level 3 inspector, which was a great achievement even Lu Qi who was at Dui-level couldn’t reach. Besides, he had fought with Hao Ren twice and admitted defeat wholeheartedly.
“This afternoon, I plan to elevate the level of my natal dharma treasure, so I need to borrow your Ethereal Summit,” Su Han said.
“Ok!” Hao Ran replied swiftly.
“Finish up the matter at hand and come to see me.” Su Han turned toward the Administration Building.
She had planned to elevate her natal dharma treasure in a few days, but the appearance of an eternal demon king alarmed her, and she decided to raise the quality of her natal dharma treasure immediately.
According to the intelligence of the Dragon God Shrine, about ten Soul Formation Realm cultivators were lingering in the mortal world while more were living on and above Fifth Heaven.
However, there were no more than 20 eternal demon kings. They were said to be the oldest demon
beasts who started cultivating in the Demon Sea, and the legendary top-ten demon kings in the Demon Sea were all eternal demon kings.
Su Han didn’t know if the eternal demon king who had just appeared was related with the top-ten demon kings or not. If she were the wife of one of the top-ten demon kings, she would be terrifying.
After all the inner Demon Sea was the dark territory even the people of the Above Realm, which was filled with immortals, dared not to touch.
“Su Han!” Hao Ren called out when seeing her walking away.
“What?” Su Han stopped and looked back at Hao Ren.
Hao Ren ran over and took out the purple gold hairpin. “Lady Zhen, Zhen Congming’s mom, gave it to me. Can you look at it and see if there is anything special about it?”
Su Han took it into her hand, but she immediately dropped it as a sudden burning pain struck her palm. A faint burn-mark speared on her white and tender palm.
“Little guy, you are too impatient. The purple gold hairpin is a token from me. If you are brave enough to come to visit me in the Demon Sea, the hairpin will keep you safe from even level 10 demon beasts. I planned to tutor you in cultivation, but you hurt me with your distrust…”
Lady Zhen’s words suddenly appeared in Hao Ren and Su Han’s minds, and her tone was sad.
“Forget it. Since Congming has a good opinion of you, I’ll tell you how to use this purple gold hairpin.” Lady Zhen changed her tone and continued, “You must inject metal and water-elemental nature essence into it in alternation, and its speed is no less than the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting of the East Ocean Dragon Clan.”
Hao Ren instantly understood that this purple gold hairpin was also a flight dharma treasure.
It would be very convenient for Lady Zhen who could draw it out from her hair and toss it at her feet before flying in the sky.
“Little Sister Su, I won’t hurt you since I met your mom one before. I planned to give you the purple gold hairpin, but I guess you don’t need it with your hostility toward me and your habit of using the sword,” Lady Zhen said.
At the mention of her mom, Su Han’s body shook with surprise.
“I know that you want to get one thing from the Nine Dragon Palace, but you can’t get it since Qiu Niu is guarding it. I have a piece of information for you. The 25th of August in the Chinese Lunar Calendar is a good day to enter the Nine Dragon Palace. Qiu Niu is practicing a secret technique which decreases his cultivation strength greatly every 1,000 years, and he has to find a place in seclusion to recover his strength.”
