Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  “Hao Ren, Hao Ren. It is great that such a day has come for you…” Huang Xujie thought happily. When he came to the gate, he saw the car and the driver his dad had sent.

  Little White had destroyed Huang Xujie’s Mercedes last time, so Huang Xujie had to send it to get fixed. When the mechanics discovered that there was a massive dent in the engine and many of the parts were destroyed, the car was almost declared to be destroyed. That was why Huang Xujie lost his right to drive on his own.

  Huang Xujie was sent to his home by his dad’s driver. Then, he whistled and opened the door. He lived a life where he wasn’t concerned about food or money. Also, he would be picked up and drove home every Friday.

  Bang… Just when he stepped inside, something was thrown over and landed by his feet.

  “Yu Qing said that you slapped her in the face when she came home today. Her dad called me, so I got people to investigate! It turned out that you called hooligans to beat up Hao Zhonghua’s son and made Hao Zhonghua’s son get punished by the school!”

  “You don’t need to sleep tonight! Just kneel there!”

  Huang Xujie looked down after listening to his dad’s angry words, and he discovered a brand-new washboard by his feet.In China, a common punishment was to ask someone kneel on washboards. Since washboards had a rough surface, it would cause a lot of pain when kneeling on it.

  576 Inspecting West Ocean!

  Bam… The wobbling bus drove along the noisy streets.

  Zhao Yanzi leaned on Hao Ren’s side, gaming on her phone.

  Behind them, a few middle school students were traveling home. They glanced at Zhao Yanzi at an angle and thought that she was gorgeous. However, they soon discovered that she had a boyfriend by her side.

  Hao Ren, who was in a simple striped shirt, looked outside at the streets.

  The appearance of Xu Ke was a troubling matter.

  A rich man would be troubled by his wealth. Hao Ren never thought that the metal-elemental dragon clan would know about his possession of the Mystic Water Sword Techniques.

  The Mystic Water Sword Techniques documented 32 strikes, and each had 18 variations. Hao Ren did all he could and only learned 12 variations in the first strike.

  Therefore, what Hao Ren learned was only the tip of an iceberg, and the power the variations that he comprehended wasn’t that mighty. However, this sword technique must be a priceless treasure, especially to a sword cultivator like Hao Ren. If he could understand all the techniques and use them at will, he would be almost invincible.

  Especially since Zhao Haoran left this set of sword techniques intentionally for Hao Ren and didn’t even let Zhao Kuo know about it, it proved his expectations for Hao Ren.

  “Damn it! I lost again!” Zhao Yanzi waved her phone, frustrated.

  She shoved the phone into Hao Ren’s hand and said, “Beat this level for me!”

  “Boring game! Let’s go! Get off the bus!” Hao Ren held her hand and jumped off the back door of the bus.

  The back door closed, and the bus drove forward. Through the windows, the few girls who were tailing Hao Ren could only see him walked into the park with a beautiful girl.

  Zhao Yanzi was completely oblivious of Hao Ren’s booming popularity at the university and did not sense the girls staring at Hao Ren on the bus. In her heart, Hao Ren was still a dull young man who was hard to be noticed, and he was far from a super handsome man who was pursued by other girls.

  “Let’s go!” Seeing nobody tailing him, Hao Ren created an energy sphere, let out the purple gold hairpin, and flew toward the West Ocean Dragon Palace.

  The purple gold hairpin transformed into a ship, and its speed was stunning. Zhao Yanzi stood on the boat beside Hao Ren, and she felt comfortable.

  Her short skirt fluttered, revealing her slender thighs. Her pigtails drifted in the wind, which made her appear energetic.

  The purple gold hairpin went straight across the Demon Sea, and it did not make any waves at all. It was so quiet that it was scary.

  Hao Ren’s necklace carried the Zhen Congming’s aura, and it scared off the level 8 and level 9 demon beasts. Also, the aura coming from the purple gold hairpin stunned the Transformation Realm demon beasts.

  Boom!

  The purple gold hairpin rushed into the ocean, and an energy sphere appeared around it, blocking out all the sea water.

  “Greetings, Commanding General!” The soldiers of East Ocean who were stationed in the territory of West Ocean and near the Demon Sea hailed at Hao Ren.

  “Thanks for the hard work!” Hao Ren shouted. Then, the golden ship broke through the water and headed toward the West Ocean Dragon Palace.

  The soldiers saw that Hao Ren was even fast now compared with before when he was on the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, and they were shocked.

  Every time Hao Ren appeared, he brought them more shock!

  This purple gold hairpin was Lady Zhen’s dharma treasure. Although Lady Zhen did not have much use for it these past few hundred years, it was still her go-to dharma treasure back in the Demon Sea. Therefore, its traveling speed in water was much faster than in air.

  The united army stationed at the front gate of the West Ocean Dragon Palace didn’t see what that golden light was before Hao Ren was already at the gate.

  This boat was much larger than the new front gate of the West Ocean Dragon Palace. When it suddenly slowed down on top of the front gate, it alerted the soldiers around it.

  “It’s Commanding General! Our Commanding General!” Liu Yi who was stationed at the front gate shouted when he saw Hao Ren on the boat.

  “Greetings, Commanding General!” All the soldiers of East Ocean under Liu Yi cupped their hands to greet Hao Ren.

  Standing at the front of the enormous ship, Hao Ren looked majestic and crushed the spirit of the South Ocean Dragon Clan and North Ocean Dragon Clan once again.

  The East Ocean Dragon Palace’s soldiers were mainly stationed near the Demon Sea. Except the few thousand men led by Liu Yi, most of the soldiers near the West Ocean Dragon Clan were from the South Ocean and North Ocean.

  These soldiers had never seen such a fancy ship, and they all looked at it in awe.

  The West Ocean Dragon Palace also had a ship-shaped dharma treasure which was taken from the Nine Dragon Palace. However, it was incomparable with Hao Ren’s gold and fancy dharma ship.

  Hao Ren held Zhao Yanzi by the hand and jumped off to the front gate of the West Ocean Dragon Palace. Then, the purple gold hairpin went back to normal and flew into Hao Ren’s necklace.

  “What a powerful dharma treasure.” The soldiers and a few elders of the other two oceans looked at each other in surprise. Nobody was quick enough to see the ship’s original form.

  Usually, the larger the size of a dharma treasure after transformation, the bigger it would be when it shrunk. For example, Zhao Hongyu’s River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting was a scroll that had the size of half an arm when it wasn’t used, and the West Ocean Dragon Palace’s black ship was a long black bone when it shrunk.

  However, Hao Ren’s dharma treasure could easily shrink into his palm, which proved that its quality was not below the dharma treasures from the Nine Dragon Palace!

  Most of the dharma treasures in the Nine Dragon Palace were mainly dark in color and crude in appearance. Zhao Hongyu’s River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting was an ink painting, which was comparatively more delicate.

  Not only was Hao Ren’s dharma treasure golden when expanded, but it was also embedded with shiny purple sand. It looked very majestic and eye-catching.

  “Greetings, Princess.” The soldiers of East Ocean bowed to Zhao Yanzi.

  Zhao Yanzi waved her hand and stood by Hao Ren’s side obediently.

  She grew up in the city and was not used to such a scene.

  However, to Liu Yi and the soldiers, her reaction meant that she really liked the Fuma. From Liu Yi and the soldier’s perspective, the Fuma was indeed extraordinarily majestic. It was normal for the princess
to fall for him.

  “How is the reconstruction of the West Ocean Dragon Palace?” Hao Ren asked.

  He was here mainly to check on the reconstruction of the West Ocean Dragon Palace and quickly inspect the soldiers of East Ocean.

  The defeat of the West Ocean Dragon Palace led to tighter controls of its territories by South Ocean and North Ocean. As the Commanding General of East Ocean, Hao Ren had to pay more attention to West Ocean.

  “Three main halls are already built. The gates and the walls are in the works,” Liu Yi explained to Hao Ren while walking by his side.

  The gigantic array formation around the West Ocean Dragon Palace was already restored. It kept the water out so that energy spheres were no longer needed when walking in here.

  Zhao Yanzi followed Hao Ren and looked around.

  Now in the West Ocean Dragon Palace, other than the soldiers of West Ocean who were tasked with the reconstruction, there were also the patrolling soldiers of South Ocean and North Ocean, not to mention the black-armored soldiers led by Liu Yi. It was very chaotic in the West Ocean Dragon Palace.

  “Welcome, East Ocean Commanding General!” A dozen of purple-robed elders poured out of the main hall and cupped their hands at Hao Ren.

  Zeng Yitao looked pale in his long golden robe. He seemed especially weak when huddled by these elders.

  He saw Zhao Yanzi in Lingzhao Middle School’s uniform and following Hao Ren like a little kitten, and he felt a sense of hatred and anger.

  In the past, the West Ocean Dragon Palace was strong, and he wanted to force Zhao Yanzi to marry him. Now that the East Ocean Dragon Palace was in power, he could only smile in disgrace and watch his fantasized ‘fiancé’ stand by the ‘garbage’ Hao Ren that he disregarded.

  Although Zhao Yanzi was now in Grade Nine, she was still youthful and pretty. From how she was standing beside Hao Ren, Zeng Yitao could tell that their relationship had moved on to the next level.

  He wanted to have Zhao Yanzi, but he could not. Now seeing that there was only Hao Ren’s figure in Zhao Yanzi’s eyes, it hurt Zeng Yitao’s head.

  “Are the matters with the Old Dragon King settled?” Hao Ren asked.

  “Thanks for asking. The Old Dragon King has been buried peacefully,” an elder answered.

  “Take me there,” Hao Ren said.

  The elders of West Ocean were stunned for a second before turning to Zeng Yitao.

  Zeng Yitao looked at Hao Ren, shocked. Then, he led Hao Ren to the back hall of the Dragon Palace without a word. He clenched his fists tightly but did not have the power to defeat Hao Ren.

  The reconstructed West Ocean Dragon Palace was smaller than before. Right now, only the front hall, middle hall, and back hall were restored.

  Hao Ren wanted to visit Zeng Xin’s grave but did not expect Zeng Yitao to lead him to the hall where all former dragon kings were respected

  This ancestral hall of West Ocean was not open to anyone, but no one dared to stop Hao Ren.

  However, Hao Ren did not act brazenly as Zeng Yitao and the elders had expected. He lit up three incense sticks and placed them in front of Zeng Xin’s portrait.

  Hao Ren respected Zeng Xin as a dragon king who dared to charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm. Even though he failed, he was brave and iron-willed.

  The elders of West Ocean suddenly felt like this Commanding General of East Ocean was an extraordinary character.

  The two Commanding Generals of South Ocean and North Ocean patrolled the West Ocean Dragon Palace all the time, but they did not take the initiative to pay respect to the Old Dragon King. In their eyes, Zeng Xin and the West Ocean Dragon Palace were losers.

  Hao Ren turned to look at Zeng Yitao and only saw frustration and hatred on his face; not a single shade of sadness could be spotted. He sighed slightly and felt sadder for Zeng Xin.

  “Hohoho… Brother Hao is here. Why didn’t you come and visit us?”

  The laughter of the North Ocean’s Second Duke suddenly sounded outside.

  Hao Ren slightly frowned and went out of the back hall. He saw the Second Duke of North Ocean in a black silk robe, and the latter was leading sixteen golden-armored generals who were standing in a formation.

  “Right; why is Brother Hao here all of a sudden? The South Ocean Dragon Clan and North Ocean Dragon Clan are protecting this area together. Is Brother Hao afraid that we will make mistakes?” The Third Prince of South Ocean, who was in a white robe, led more than a dozen generals over as well. As he said that, he cupped his hands to greet Hao Ren.

  577 Overpowering Two Dragon Clans!

  Hao Ren came out from the back hall.

  Liu Yi immediately went up to him and whispered, “This area is close to the back mountain, and the West Ocean Mystic Ice is produced here.”

  Zeng Yitao followed Hao Ren out of the back hall, and he stood within the circle of West Ocean elders and remained silent.

  Waiting outside the hall, Zhao Yanzi ran a few steps forward to return to Hao Ren’s side.

  “Haha, I have not seen you two for a while,” Hao Ren slightly cupped his hands and said.

  Liu Yi’s reminder let Hao Ren understand the situation.

  What was most precious in the West Ocean Dragon Palace was not techniques, structures, elixir, or dharma treasures, but their specialty product - West Ocean Mystic Ice.

  The back mountain of the West Ocean Dragon Palace was the production place of the West Ocean Mystic Ice. It was also the location where Zeng Xin made his last-ditch effort in trying to become a Heavenly Dragon.

  North Ocean and South Ocean were both very interested in West Ocean Mystic Ice.

  Since Hao Ren suddenly appearance and forced Zeng Yitao to the back mountain, it plucked their nerves.

  Hao Ren looked at the Commanding Generals of the two dragon clans and saw aggression on their faces.

  Back when they fought against the demon beast, Hao Ren gave them detox pills and saved them. However, this situation involved the core interest, West Ocean Mystic Ice, the two dragon clans were not going to step back.

  This moment, they each led more than a dozen generals, and Hao Ren only had Liu Yi by his side.

  Hao Ren was outnumbered and surrounded.

  “I wonder what urgent matter brings Brother Hao to the back mountain?” The Second Duke of North Ocean asked.

  The Third Prince of South Ocean cautiously stared at Hao Ren, and he was planning to ask the same question.

  The two parties had put on a firm stance. They had more soldiers in the West Ocean Dragon Palace, and they had more powerful generals with them. Therefore, they rushed over to pressure Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren understood where they were coming from, but he really disliked being threatened!

  “Our Commanding General of East Ocean came to inspect the reconstruction progress of the back hall; does that require your approval?” The straightforward Liu Yi was more displeased and was the first to shout.

  “Does a little gate general have the rights to speak here?” Seeing Liu Yi challenging him, the Second Duke of North Ocean squinted his eyes and said authoritatively.

  As he walked, the Second Duke of North Ocean released a fierce pressure at Liu Yi.

  Liu Yi unsheathed his broadsword in a hurry but still backed off two steps.

  The Second Duke of North Ocean was about to exert more pressure, but Hao Ren’s sword energies suddenly shot out and formed a layer of transparent barrier, blocking the Second Duke of North Ocean’s pressure.

  “Regarding Liu Yi, he is not under North Ocean’s command, right?” Hao Ren turned to look at Liu Yi before turning to the Second Duke of North Ocean and asking slowly.

  Zhao Yanzi lightly pulled on Hao Ren’s shirt and didn’t want him to confront them directly.

  The four ocean dragon clans always had relations among themselves. Therefore, Zhao Yanzi had seen the important figures of the other three dragon clans. This Second Duke of North Ocean was the Commanding General of North Ocean, and his realm was already at low-t
ier Qian-level. He was the most powerful cultivator in the royal family aside from the purple-robed elders.

  Zeng Yitao was delighted to see them getting suspicious of each other, so he did not explain anything. He could not beat Hao Ren, so he looked forward to South Ocean and North Ocean joining forces and beating Hao Ren together.

  He would rather be taken apart by South Ocean and North Ocean than let the East Ocean Dragon Clan earn a cent from him.

  The Second Duke of North Ocean looked at Hao Ren; he did not expect Hao Ren to be this tough at such a young age. If he did not suppress Hao Ren now, there would be more trouble in the future.

  “Brother Hao, you were just promoted to the position of Commanding General, and it is inevitable that your military discipline is lacking a bit in the beginning. As a senior, I am just helping to enforce some discipline. After all, us three ocean dragon clans have long days together here. Any conflict should be avoided,” The Second Duke of North Ocean said as he fluttered his black cape.

  He then turned to look at the Third Prince of South Ocean and asked, “Brother Song, do you think I am right?”

  The Third Prince of South Ocean hesitated for a moment and nodded, saying, “I see that this is the first time General Liu has led an army. There are things he doesn’t understand well, such as division of power.”

  “You…” Liu Yi was so mad that he almost went up two steps to argue with them.

  During this time, he led the black-armored soldiers of East Ocean and had small conflicts with South Ocean and North Ocean’s soldier.

  However, those were due to misunderstandings during the division of responsibility, and South Ocean and North Ocean thought that East Ocean already got a big advantage in terms of sea territories, so they intentionally tried to harass Liu Yi and his black-armored soldiers.

  Liu Yi did not want to cause trouble for Hao Ren, so he endured it for a while. He did not anticipate the Commanding Generals of the other two oceans to scold him right in front of Hao Ren…

  Hao Ren reached out and stopped Liu Yi. Then, he looked at the Second Duke of North Ocean and the Third Prince of South Ocean. “Does this mean that you two are displeased with my subordinate?”
