Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  Buzz… Suddenly, the golden shield in Hao Ren’s necklace became restless.

  595 Not Afraid of You~~

  In Hao Ren’s necklace, since there was also the purple gold hairpin, the golden shield was flying around but did not dare to smash anything.

  Hao Ren walked out of his cave abode and threw out the purple gold hairpin. The purple gold hairpin fell onto the soil and instantly turned the entire valley purple.

  The golden shield flew out of the necklace and circled the spacious valley. It then spun at an incredible speed and drained all the nature essence in the valley!

  “Damn!”

  Hao Ren almost gasped when he saw the golden shield’s outlandish behavior.

  Since the mountains surrounded this valley from three sides, the nature essence intensity was thicker here compared to other places. Hao Ren picked this location for this reason.

  Soon after, Zhen Congming set up the Big Dipper Constellation Array Formation which also absorbed the nature essences nearby and put them in the valley.

  Some months had passed since the array formation was set up, and the nature essence intensity here was satisfactory. It was not comparable to Sixth Heaven but still a few times higher than First Heaven.

  However, in a brief moment, the golden shield sucked away all the nature essence that had been accumulating here for the past months!

  Hao Ren stared at the golden shield that was circling the valley with surprise and helplessness. He was at a loss for words, but he knew he could not reason with this kind of dharma treasure.

  The purple gold hairpin stayed still in the soil and didn’t move. It caught the golden shield, so it would not let the golden shield escape. Also, it was a gift from Lady Zhen to Hao Ren, so it would not allow the golden shield to hurt Hao Ren. It only followed these two simple rules.

  Xie Yujia also felt that the nature essence intensity in the valley dropped a little. Immediately, she ran to the cave entrance.

  When she saw the golden shield in the valley, she was stunned for a moment.

  She never saw this dharma treasure before, but she knew it was unique since it could hover in mid-air by itself.

  Xie Yujia did not know about supreme spiritual treasures, but she had refined the dharma treasure for Su Han and knew that the ones with spiritual properties were the best of the best.

  The golden shield froze in the air for a few seconds before rushing back into the cave!

  “Stop!” Hao Ren suddenly released his 320 sword energies.

  Xie Yujia also threw out an essence-locking note.

  The sword energies were all absorbed by the golden shield, and a dash of golden light shattered the essence-locking note.

  Buzz!

  The purple gold hairpin slightly vibrated.

  The golden shield circled Xie Yujia for two rounds and continued flying in the valley casually.

  Xie Yujia was sweating a little from being frightened and looked at Hao Ren.

  “This is a treasure that I got from Xu Ke. The purple gold hairpin is suppressing it. Don’t worry,” Hao Ren said.

  Supreme spiritual treasures had unique spiritual properties; they had the intelligence of a little animal.

  The purple gold hairpin had always accompanied Lady Zhen and was more disciplined, but this golden shield had not been bound to any cultivator for years, so it became willful.

  “Then…” Xie Yujia thought for a while and tried to ask.

  “Hehe, there is no need to think. It does not listen to my orders.” Hao Ren waved.

  The nature essence intensity in the valley dropped, but the array formation started absorbing nature essence from the outside again.

  There were two methods to deal with supreme spiritual treasures. One was to suppress them with absolute power, and the other was to treat it nicely like a pet.

  Xu Ke’s master used the second method to keep the golden shield by his side. This method required a lot of nature essence to be fed to it for compensation after use.

  Hao Ren never thought about the second method. Even if he knew about it, he was only a Gen-level cultivator and needed enormous amounts of nature essence for cultivation himself, unlike Xu Ke’s master who could give enough nature essence to feed the golden shield.

  The golden shield flew freely in the valley, and the purple gold hairpin glowed while also quietly absorbing the nature essence in the valley.

  Hao Ren looked to the purple gold hairpin and then to the golden shield before sighing slightly.

  Outside the valley, 60 Core Formation Realm and several hundred Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were waiting, but these two top-tier dharma treasures were not cooperating.

  Without power, even dharma treasures didn’t care.

  Hao Ren gently tapped on Xie Yujia’s arm, and they returned to the cave abode.

  Duan Yao sat on the stone chair and was stared at by Little White. She was grinding her teeth but did not dare to make sudden moves.

  A few moments earlier when the golden shield flew out, she could not see it clearly and had no idea what it was.

  However, she thought that there was no dharma treasure more powerful than her Sky-Turning Stamp.

  This Sky-Turning Stamp was her grand uncle-master’s dharma treasure. She did not have a high realm, so she could not exert its full power. But when it was used by her grand uncle-master, it could instantly destroy any other dharma treasure!

  Zhao Yanzi took a detox pill, and her wounds from fighting with Duan Yao were finally recovering a little. She stared at Duan Yao viciously. If she were not heavily injured right now, she would rush over to beat Duan Yao.

  Xie Yujia picked up an ink brush and the special paper once again, drawing another essence-locking note. Earlier, she did not have enough nature essence and could not draw the notes. But now that she had rested on the stone bed for a while, her nature essence recovered a little.

  “Put this note into her body just in case she has other ideas.” Xie Yujia handed Hao Ren her new note.

  Hao Ren injected his nature essence into the dharma note, and it gradually lit up.

  Duan Yao stared at Hao Ren intensely, but it was no use. Hao Ren cast the note and shot it onto Duan Yao’s back.

  In an instant, Duan Yao sensed that all the nature essence in her body had been locked. She could not use any of it.

  “My realm is too low, so the dharma note does not have powerful effects. However, it seems to work on Core Formation Realm cultivators.”

  Xie Yujia saw Duan Yao’s stiff expression and nodded happily.

  Duan Yao was mad.

  “They are experimenting with my body!” she thought, “This ‘pervert’ does all sorts of bad things, and his two concubines are also very bad! Once my grand uncle-master is out of seclusion cultivation, you are not going to live long!”

  “Phew…” At this moment, Zhao Yanzi exhaled deeply.

  The few level 4 elixir pills were extremely useful. Even having suffered such a heavy injury, Zhao Yanzi could still recover.

  She stood up and walked to Duan Yao directly before sticking her hand into Duan Yao’s clothes.

  “What… are you doing!” Duan Yao covered her clothes in a hurry.

  Zhao Yanzi kept her cold expression and took out a golden dharma treasure from her chest pocket.

  Hao Ren did not expect Duan Yao to be hiding another dharma treasure. He came over to have a detailed look, and he realized that this dharma treasure’s quality was not below Xie Yujia’s demonic bow.

  At the bottom of this stamp-shaped dharma treasure was three words: Sky-Turning Stamp.

  “You… give it back!” Duan Yao shouted at Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren.

  However, her call was weak and ineffective.

  When Zhao Yanzi encountered Duan Yao, it was this Sky-Turning Stamp that caused her great trouble. Thinking back to the fight at the entrance of the valley, if it weren’t for Xie Yujia, she would have died already.

  “Humph!” Zhao Yanzi reached out again.
She felt the jade pendant at Duan Yao’s waist and ripped it off.

  “You…” Duan Yao opened her eyes wide; she was shocked beyond words.

  “Remember our first encounter? We had a quick conversation, and you tried to kill me!” Zhao Yanzi looked at Duan Yao angrily and put the jade pendant in her storage ring.

  Duan Yao was the pearl of Sky Mountain Sect, and she had an arrogant personality. That day, Zhao Yanzi annoyed her, so Duan Yao wanted to teach Zhao Yanzi a lesson. She did not anticipate the trouble that came after.

  If Hao Ren did not interfere, she was going to take Little White back to Sky Mountain Sect, but she did not think about killing Zhao Yanzi.

  In her mind, she could do anything she wanted on Fifth Heaven. There was nobody on Fifth Heaven who dared to offend Sky Mountain Sect.

  In her mind, a girl like Zhao Yanzi should treat her respectfully. However, Zhao Yanzi didn’t do that but challenged her. In her mind, Zhao Yanzi deserved to be punished.

  However, she did not expect Zhao Yanzi to be this troublesome and protected by Hao Ren. Sky Mountain Sect sent close to 1,000 cultivators, but she was captured!

  “Don’t wait too long. My grand uncle-master will avenge for me!” Duan Yao stared at Zhao Yanzi and said fiercely.

  “Grand Uncle-Master … Call him over!” Zhao Yanzi said provocatively.

  She was the princess of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Zhao Guang worried that she would be spoiled, so he brought her to live on land. If that did not happen, Zhao Yanzi should be similar to Duan Yao in turns of arrogance.

  “You wait and see! You wait and see!” Duan Yao couldn’t win the word fight with Zhao Yanzi, and her nature essence was locked. Short of breath, her eyes started to turn red.

  Zhao Yanzi did not expect this fierce Duan Yao to tear up right now, and she subconsciously wanted to comfort her. However, she suddenly thought back to how Duan Yao hurt her and almost took her life, so Zhao Yanzi put away her compassion and said, “Never let me see you again. Or else, I’ll rob you every time I see you!”

  She wanted to say something even more ruthless in the beginning, but she couldn’t get it out. Under the strict discipline of Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu, she still had some manners. Zhao Hongyu sometimes pampered her but didn’t spoil her.

  Duan Yao had never been humiliated in this way. She was trapped in enemies’ hands, her grand uncle-master had not appeared after she sent the emergency note, and she was insulted by Zhao Yanzi and stared down at by a snow lion…

  Her tears started to fall.

  Zhao Yanzi saw her crying and was stunned for a moment. She quickly turned over in embarrassment and stepped on her Purple Green Treasure Sword before flying to her own cave.

  Xie Yujia sat by the stone bed and did not pay attention to Duan Yao.

  With the ink brush in hand, she drew many essence-locking notes. Who knew when the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect were going to attack again? During this time, she should prepare more notes; this was more practical.

  Hao Ren sat cross-legged on the stone bed, facing Duan Yao. He closed his eyes and cultivated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.

  He just broke through the encirclement of Sky Mountain Sect, rushed into the valley, and controlled the array formation. The nature essence in his body was almost all used up, so he had to restore nature essence as soon as possible.

  Duan Yao saw that Xie Yujia did not care about her, Hao Ren closed his eyes, and only the level 3 snow lion was still staring at her with its black eyes. She slowly stopped crying and felt hungry.

  All her valuables were taken, but her enemies did not seem to be interested in torturing her.

  Seeing one of them cultivating and the other drawing dharma notes, Duan Yao felt like she was left out in the cold.

  Huala… Zhao Yanzi held a pile of snacks in her arms, stepped on the Purple Green Treasure Sword, and returned to Xie Yujia’s cave abode before throwing those snacks on the stone bed.

  596 Make Peace?!

  The pile of snacks that Zhao Yanzi brought over included drinks, chips, ham, beef jerky, salty fish, rice pudding…

  Hao Ren looked at her in shock.

  “How do you have so much food?” he asked.

  “I’m easily hungry, so I prepared them!” Zhao Yanzi answered.

  In fact, she did not only bring food. During the last few trips to Fifth Heaven, she also brought other things such as a fur blanket for the stone bed, plushy toys, alarm clocks…

  The cold cave Hao Ren made for Zhao Yanzi was decorated beautifully. This was her nature as a girl.

  Xie Yujia preferred simplicity and did not decorate her cave, but Zhao Yanzi liked to make her room cozy. She could only cultivate at ease in this environment.

  The food she brought over this time was stored in her cave so that she could have some when she got hungry during cultivation. Now that they could not return home for a while, she brought them over to share with Hao Ren and Xie Yujia.

  Duan Yao had never seen such things. On the cold stone chair, she opened her eyes wide open and stared at the strange things on the bed.

  “Hey, have some band-aids.” Zhao Yanzi took out two band-aids from her pile of stuff and handed them to Xie Yujia.

  “Thank you.” Xie Yujia took the band-aids and turned her back against Hao Ren.

  “What’s wrong?” Hao Ren went closer and saw Xie Yujia tearing open the band-aids and putting them on her palm.

  He immediately reached over and took Xie Yujia’s palm, and he saw deep cuts running through her palm and fingers!

  Even though these deep cuts weren’t bleeding anymore, Hao Ren could still imagine the pain just from seeing them!

  “I’m fine!” Xie Yujia pulled her hand back and put on the band-aids.

  These were cuts from drawing her bow. However, these wounds were not severe like the one on Zhao Yanzi’s shoulder, so Xie Yujia was reluctant to use level 4 detox pills; she only sealed the wounds with nature essence and let the palm heal slowly.

  “Eh…” Hao Ren did not notice the cuts in Xie Yujia’s palm. Now that he saw these scary deep wounds, he was heartbroken.

  When he looked closely, there were also shallow red marks on her arm; they seemed to be created by tree branches. Since they were shallow, it was hard to spot them without paying close attention.

  Zhao Yanzi’s injury was mainly on the shoulder. If the injury were closer to her heart, it would have been fatal.

  Xie Yujia’s injuries were mainly internal. She almost used up all her nature essence to power the demonic bow since the Sky-Turning Stamp continuously bombarded her. Flying gravel also left marks on her skin, and many small veins in her body were also broken.

  Zhao Yanzi saw Hao Ren holding Xie Yujia’s right hand and felt very complicated.

  Xie Yujia just risked her life to use the demonic bow to save Zhao Yanzi, and then she was attacked by Duan Yao’s Sky-Turning Stamp.

  Zhao Yanzi thought carefully and felt like she caused Xie Yujia’s injuries. If Xie Yujia did not hear the noise or intentionally stayed inside, she would not have much responsibility anyway.

  If Zhao Yanzi died, then Xie Yujia could live happily ever after with Hao Ren…

  “Eat something…” Zhao Yanzi opened a bottle of rice pudding and gave it to Xie Yujia.

  “Eh…” Xie Yujia nodded slightly and scooped with a small plastic spoon.

  Hao Ren saw Zhao Yanzi’s complex look and guessed that it was because Xie Yujia risked her life to save Zhao Yanzi, so the latter must be feeling guilty now.

  Zhao Yanzi actually did not make much trouble. The thing was that if someone messed with her, she must fight back. Overall, she was just too naïve about Fifth Heaven.

  “What are you looking at?!” Zhao Yanzi was upset and realized that Duan Yao was staring at her, so she yelled fiercely and took Duan Yao’s Sky-Turning Stamp to the cave entrance.

  Duan Yao gritted her teeth but held back and did not argue with Zhao Yanzi. She felt like she couldn’t mess with
Zhao Yanzi easily. Like Zhao Yanzi, she was also too naïve about Fifth Heaven.

  “Rise!”

  Zhao Yanzi raised the Sky-Turning Stamp as she injected some nature essence into it.

  The Sky-Turning Stamp did not budge; nothing happened.

  In the valley, the golden shield was still making circles.

  “Release!” Zhao Yanzi tried again.

  She had witnessed the power of the Sky-Turning Stamp. She thought if she could use this dharma treasure, she could help later when the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect cultivators attacked.

  The heavy Sky-Turning Stamp still did not move.

  Zhao Yanzi rushed back to the cave angrily and questioned Duan Yao, “Speak! How do you use this dharma treasure!?”

  Duan Yao raised her head and glared at Zhao Yanzi, not answering anything.

  “You really think I will not do anything to you?” Zhao Yanzi raised the Sky-Turning Stamp.

  Duan Yao still glared at Zhao Yanzi silently.

  With the Sky-Turning Stamp raised, Zhao Yanzi hesitated for a few seconds and put down her arm. She was only trying to scare Duan Yao.

  “This dharma treasure can only be activated by fire-elemental nature essence. Your nature essence is water-elemental, so you cannot use it,” Hao Ren said.

  Hearing Hao Ren’s casual remark, Duan Yao was surprised. She did not expect Hao Ren to know this detail about the Sky-Turning Stamp only with a simple touch.

  “Oh, that’s why…” Zhao Yanzi massaged her shoulder and placed the Sky-Turning Stamp on the table.

  The Big Dipper Constellation Scroll that Duan Yao cultivated was acquired by Sky Mountain Sect from Seventh Heaven. Since Sky Mountain Sect wished to pass down this technique, they asked for one which did not have special requirements. Therefore, that was why Zhao Yanzi could also cultivation this technique.

  It was the same for the Purple Green Treasure Sword. As a great treasure of Sky Mountain Sect, it was not only limited to fire-elemental cultivators.

  However, this Sky-Turning Stamp was different. It was Duan Yao’s grand uncle-master’s personal dharma treasure, and he was of pure fire body type.
