Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  Thinking that she thought of Hao Ren in the most dangerous moments, she felt warm and soft.

  “Show me your injury,” Hao Ren whispered as he unbuttoned the clothes around Zhao Yanzi’s shoulder.

  Zhao Yanzi’s face turned red, but Hao Ren already pulled down the clothes covering her left shoulder and gazed at her exposed skin.

  Xie Yujia had already put back her injured bones and wrapped a few bandages around it. She also poured alcohol and some medicinal powder on the wound. In such an emergency, this treatment was quite meticulous.

  When Hao Ren turned around, he saw Duan Yao sitting by the bed with the cloth off; she had rubbed off the cloth around her head against the bed, and her dark eyes were staring at Hao Ren.

  Seeing Hao Ren being so considerate to Zhao Yanzi made her feel spiteful. Zhao Yanzi was her nemesis, and Hao Ren was the pervert in her eyes. But when she saw the look of Hao Ren’s face when he tended to Zhao Yanzi’s injury, she felt a little jealous inside.

  “You’re badly injured.” Hao Ren gently put his palm on Zhao Yanzi’s shoulder. Water-elemental and wood-elemental nature essences had healing properties, so he gradually applied these nature essences onto the injuries.

  Zhao Yanzi’s shoulder was wrapped with a few thin bandages, but her skin around it was exposed. When Hao Ren’s palm held her, she felt strange inside but did not resist.

  “Humph!” Duan Yao snorted.

  “It’s going to be fine. Take more rest,” Hao Ren said and dressed Zhao Yanzi.

  Duan Yao looked at the intimate lovers and blew up her pink cheeks angrily. When she saw Hao Ren looking over, she immediately turned her head away.

  The law of the jungle ruled the cultivation world. Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia’s realms were below hers, but she still got captured. There was nothing more to say.

  “If this pervert crosses any boundaries, I will kill myself!” she thought.

  “But… this way of dying is very painful… If there isn’t enough nature essence, I will suffer a pain worse than death…” When Duan Yao was thinking to herself and holding in her anger, her tied-up wrists were put over.

  She turned around and saw Hao Ren grabbing her delicate small hand.

  “Mmm! Mmm!” Duan Yao’s mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth and could not shout, but her fear was expressed through her eyes.

  No matter how desperate she struggled, her wrists were still cuffed by Hao Ren’s fingers.

  Suddenly, streaks of pure five-elemental nature essence flowed from Hao Ren’s palm into her arms.

  Duan Yao was shocked; she suddenly remembered that this feeling of pure nature essence was only felt once from her grand uncle-master who was at top-tier Nascent Soul Realm!

  When her grand uncle-master nurtured her body, the pure fire-elemental nature essence was used. However, Hao Ren was sending her pure five-elemental nature essence.

  Duan Yao looked at Hao Ren in shock, and her attitude immediately changed.

  “This pervert is actually this powerful?!

  In her surprise, she even forgot to struggle. She looked at Hao Ren in a daze and thought, “I thought I could rival with him if I have better dharma treasures, but a Core Formation Realm cultivator can’t obtain his pure nature essence!”

  Duan Yao stared at Hao Ren and thought that he was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

  There were incidents where some Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had accidents during cultivation or were sneak-attacked by other Nascent Soul Realm enemies. In those situations, they would drop to the Core Formation Realm. Duan Yao had not seen this happen but knew about it.

  When Nascent Soul Realm cultivators fell back to the Core Formation Realm, they had to cultivate to Nascent Soul Realm all over again. Since they had reached the Nascent Soul Realm before, their cultivation speed was much faster, and the purity of their nature essence remained at the Nascent Soul Realm.

  “Perhaps… this pervert is actually a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator… and he set foot on Fifth Heaven to hide from his enemies… But… I have never seen a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator this young and with such good looks…” she thought.

  How could Hao Ren know that so many thoughts had already flashed across Duan Yao’s mind when he was examining her conditions.

  He saw that Duan Yao fixated her gaze on him and felt a bit creeped out. However, Duan Yao’s serious expression and her dark pupils were quite cute.

  “Humph!” Hao Ren pretended to be fierce and suddenly pulled back his nature essence.

  “Ow…” When Hao Ren’s nature essence suddenly pulled out, Duan Yao felt like knives were cutting in her veins. She suddenly shivered out of pain and groaned while biting onto the cloth in her mouth.

  She stared at Hao Ren furiously and suddenly remembered that even if he were a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, she should not respect him!

  Hao Ren stood up and looked at her calmly.

  He knew that Zhao Yanzi was sometimes too reckless, but Duan Yao was crueler. When they met for the first time, Duan Yao commanded a level 5 snow lion to bully Zhao Yanzi and Little White due to their disagreement, and she even slashed at Zhao Yanzi with her mighty sword.

  If it weren’t for Hao Ren’s rescue, Zhao Yanzi might have been heavily injured, and Little White would have been taken away by Duan Yao.

  Hao Ren suddenly pulled out his nature essence to punish Duan Yao since she almost broke Zhao Yanzi’s shoulder and made Xie Yujia lose her life.

  This little punishment was nothing on Fifth Heaven. The cultivators on Fifth Heaven might even pull out their enemies’ souls and torture them that way.

  Hao Ren reached and took out the cloth in Duan Yao’s mouth.

  He just tested Duan Yao’s body and discovered that she had the pure fire body type, one of the best body types there were when it came to cultivation.

  “Thief! My Sky Mountain Sect will certainly cut you to thousands of pieces!” Duan Yao took a deep breath and shouted at Hao Ren.

  She now hated Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi to the guts. They robbed her techniques and dharma treasures, and they also captured her. With her background, who else dared to treat her like this?

  Just for rubbing her, she felt like Hao Ren deserved to be turned into ashes.

  “When my senior brothers break in, I will ask them to imprison these three until the end of time!” she thought.

  On and above Fifth Heaven, even taking someone else’s dharma treasures was a huge offense; it was worthy of killing the other party!

  Zhao Yanzi only robbed Duan Yao’s things to piss her off, but little did she know that she was already the priority on Duan Yao’s kill list!

  “When my grand uncle-master is out from seclusion cultivation, he will kill you all!” Duan Yao stared at Hao Ren and said fiercely.

  Even real Nascent Soul Realm cultivator couldn’t fight against her grand uncle-master, let alone Hao Ren who was ‘once a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!’

  “However, I won’t ask Grand Uncle-Master to take care of Zhao Yanzi; I will do it myself!” she thought.

  “Haha,” Hao Ren chuckled and reached out his hand. “Hand over the rest of your things.”

  594 Give Up…

  “What… Things?” Duan Yao was shocked and stared at Hao Ren cautiously.

  “Big Dipper Constellation Scroll, the second half,” Hao Ren said.

  “You…” Duan Yao stared at Hao Ren furiously; she didn’t expect this ‘pervert’ to be so shameless.

  “He had robbed the first half of the Big Dipper Constellation Scroll, and now he wants the second half?” she thought.

  She clenched her teeth and said, “Sure. If you untie me, I’ll give it to you.”

  Hao Ren touched the ropes with his finger, and the wood-elemental spiritual energy dissolved the ropes.

  He could tell that Duan Yao was heavily injured. Having just examined her body, Hao Ren also knew that she didn’t have much nature essence left, so she could not play tricks.

  Duan Yao shook her han
ds that had become red due to being tied, and then she reached into her inner pocket.

  Whoosh!

  She suddenly pulled out a small knife and stabbed at Hao Ren’s neck!

  Hao Ren was prepared, and he clenched his right hand and held onto her knife.

  However, Duan Yao let go of the knife decisively and threw herself to Zhao Yanzi.

  Zhao Yanzi was just trying to recover. When she saw Duan Yao pounce over suddenly, she quickly threw a punch.

  Duan Yao pushed aside Zhao Yanzi’s fist and rammed her head onto Zhao Yanzi’s chest. She then bit on Zhao Yanzi’s wrist heavily.

  This brief exchange clearly showed that Duan Yao was more adept in boxing techniques than Zhao Yanzi.

  “Aiya!” Zhao Yanzi screamed in pain. Duan Yao was quite vicious since her teeth sank deeply into Zhao Yanzi’s wrist.

  She hated Zhao Yanzi dearly, and she was trying to vent her anger. She thought that she was going to die anyway, so she must give her all to Zhao Yanzi!

  Zhao Yanzi could not take her wrist back, so she punched Duan Yao’s head with her other hand.

  Duan Yao turned around and pressed onto Zhao Yanzi, so Zhao Yanzi’s punch only hit her shoulder. Then, the two rolled onto the floor as they screamed and fought.

  Hao Ren did not anticipate the two fighting each other. He went over and grabbed Duan Yao in a hurry.

  Duan Yao was unusually fierce; she turned and threw a punch at Hao Ren’s face.

  The masters of Sky Mountain Sect taught her the boxing techniques, and it was quite advanced. However, Hao Ren already practiced boxing techniques, so he quickly caught her first with his right hand.

  Hao Ren took half a step back, but he pulled on Duan Yao, making her lose balance and fall into Hao Ren’s arms.

  “Pervert!” Duan Yao clenched her teeth and threw another punch at Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren cuffed her fist and twisted slightly, folding her hands to her back.

  Duan Yao struggled desperately but could not escape from Hao Ren’s control.

  “Technique?” Hao Ren asked her.

  “I don’t have it!” Duan Yao shouted.

  “Didn’t you say that if I untie you, you’ll give it to me?”

  “Pfft!”

  Duan Yao suddenly raised her foot and stomped at Hao Ren’s foot.

  Hao Ren dodged agilely, slid half a step to the side, and cuffed both her feet with one hand while locking down her wrists with the other.

  Duan Yao could not stand and had to sit on a stone chair nearby.

  Blood was gushing out of the wound on her belly, but she was still staring at Hao Ren fiercely. She clenched her teeth and did not beg at all.

  “The girls on and above Fifth Heaven are indeed tougher mentally compared with same-aged girls on land,” Hao Ren thought as he took out a detox pill. He crushed it and sprinkled it onto her wound.

  Then, he turned to check on Zhao Yanzi.

  Duan Yao hit Zhao Yanzi’s chest with her head and bit Zhao Yanzi’s wrist with her teeth. Now, Zhao Yanzi’s shoulder started to bleed again.

  Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth and stared at Duan Yao with hatred. If she were not immobilized, she would give her all to Duan Yao!

  Little White sitting on the side was snarling at Duan Yao as well, ready to pounce at her any moment.

  It didn’t have a good impression of Duan Yao.

  In the last few encounters, Duan Yao was very heavy-handed, injuring Little White and burning some of its furs.

  If it were not Hao Ren, Little White would have pounced and bit her.

  “Zi, have another one.” Hao Ren threw another detox pill to Zhao Yanzi.

  This time, Duan Yao saw it clearly. What Hao Ren threw out was a level 4 detox pill!

  “It can almost cleanse every toxin in the world, but these people are crushing it for external application!” she thought.

  Thinking that Hao Ren also crushed a level 4 detox pill for her, she was a little shocked.

  Even Sky Mountain Sect which was known for elixir making did not squander elixir pills like this!

  “Humph, you got your pills from the Herb King Master, right?” Duan Yao said after some thought.

  On Fifth Heaven, the only person who could make level 4 pills was the Herb King Master of Ethereal Summit!

  “So?” Hao Ren looked at her.

  This chick was especially stubborn. Hao Ren thought that she was not going to talk, but it was a breakthrough point now since she spoke on her own.

  “I will tell you! The Herb King Master has a connection to our Sky Mountain Sect! I had also seen the Herb King Master once! If you know each other, then you should let me go!” Duan Yao rolled her eyes and said.

  She thought that these people of City Sect might not fear Sky Mountain Sect which was on Sixth Heaven, but she felt like they would be afraid of the Herb King Master.

  Since the so-called Herb King Master had a snow lion, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that he or she had connections with Sky Mountain Sect.

  Duan Yao said that she had seen the Herb King Master since she came here for a beauty pill; she was bluffing, trying to scare Hao Ren.

  She saw Hao Ren’s eyelids twitch when she mentioned the Herb King Master, so she thought that these people were scared of the Herb King Master.

  Hao Ren looked at her and suddenly felt like Duan Yao was kind of dumb and cute. She was captured here yet did not know this was Ethereal Summit. She also made up her relationship with the Herb King Master to scare them.

  “Do you know where this is?” Hao Ren asked her.

  “This is the wicked valley!” Duan Yao did not see the entire valley and felt like this was a remote and closed space.

  Hao Ren laughed and thought that the fierce Duan Yao was not that smart.

  When Duan Yao came here last time, she used a map and wasn’t familiar with this area. This time, she only chased after Zhao Yanzi and did not pay attention to the surroundings. Therefore, she did not know that she was in the Ethereal Summit at all.

  Whoosh!

  Seeing Hao Ren lowering his guard, Duan Yao suddenly pulled out a small dagger from her inner pocket and stabbed at Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren released a sword energy from his fingertip and broke the dagger into two.

  “Damn, how many weapons are this chick hiding?” Hao Ren stared at Duan Yao’s green silk dress and was genuinely surprised.

  When Duan Yao saw Hao Ren eyeing her clothes, she covered herself with both arms cautiously and patted her clothes while saying. “I don’t have any more!”

  Just after she said that, two more daggers flew to Hao Ren!

  Snap! Snap!

  Hao Ren slapped them away with his hands and looked at her helplessly.

  “This time… Really… I don’t have anymore.” Duan Yao looked at Hao Ren with innocent eyes.

  Hao Ren sighed slightly and then released a metal-elemental sword energy. It circled her and sucked out three more daggers.

  Duan Yao pouted and pretended nothing happened.

  Duan Yao hid these daggers around her body when she came to Fifth Heaven this time. Last time when she lost to Zhao Yanzi, she knew she should have more weapons with her. But now…

  Hao Ren picked up the three daggers and looked at her while asking, “You don’t want me to search you, right?”

  Duan Yao’s face turned red as she yelled, “If you dare to touch me, I’ll kill myself in front of you!”

  Hao Ren pinched his fingers slightly, and the three daggers instantly turned into a ball of metal. Hao Ren’s Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll suddenly activated, and the metal ball was digested into pure metal-elemental nature essence, leaving the residue on the floor.

  Duan Yao was shocked, and this further confirmed her belief. She thought that Hao Ren was once a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator since ordinary Core Formation Realm cultivators could turn dharma treasures into metal-elemental nature essence this easily!

  The metal-elemental nature essence Hao Ren obtained from that m
etal ball was inferior to the metal-elemental nature essence from the surroundings, but it was an excellent way to scare Duan Yao.

  “Eh…” Xie Yujia slightly turned over, massaged her head, and sat up slowly.

  When she saw that Duan Yao had been untied and was sitting in a chair in front of Hao Ren, she was a little surprised.

  But when she saw Hao Ren, she thought about Hao Ren copying the Thousand Character Classic last night and turned to pick up a brush and special paper before drawing out a dharma note.

  This brush and special paper were things that Zhao Yanzi got from other evil Fifth Heaven cultivators. Xie Yujia placed them here mainly for copying down recipes, but she got inspired when she saw Hao Ren getting punished last night. She got a new way of attacking.

  “Hao Ren, this is an essence-locking note. Put it on her back so that she can not escape,” Xie Yujia raised the dharma note and said to Hao Ren.

  In the Spells’ Origin Note Scroll that Old Grandma gave her, there were some specific blueprints of dharma notes. When Xie Yujia was cultivating, she would also memorize some. Now, she could draw them at will.

  Sky Mountain Sect had a lot of knowledge in many fields. As the Sect Master’s only daughter, Duan Yao had some basic understanding of dharma notes.

  Low-level cultivators always brought some dharma notes with them when they went on missions; they were additional attacking methods. However, the essence-locking note was a high-level dharma note. No one other than professional dharma note masters could draw it.

  “This woman easily drew an essence-locking note?” Duan Yao thought to herself.

  How could she know that the most powerful dharma note masters, Qingfeng Hermit, was Xie Yujia’s master? The Spells’ Origin Note Scroll could unleash all kinds of power, let alone creating dharma notes.

  Xie Yujia did not have a high realm, and she had to rely on special papers as mediums. If she could reach the Soul Formation Realm, she would be able to draw dharma notes in the air and use them directly!

  That was why even Soul Formation Realm cultivators had to be careful of in front of Qingfeng Hermit! There was a saying among the Soul Formation Realm cultivators: I would rather mess with the lord of hell than messing with Qingfeng!
