Dragon King's Son-In-Law

by Dragon King

  Hua… While he was speculating the movement pattern of the palaces, Hao Ren moved the hundun sword energy toward the foot of the mountain.

  Standing at the end of the sword energy, Su Han held Hao Ren’s shoulders with both hands.

  Her full chest pressed against Hao Ren’s back, bringing tingling sensations to Hao Ren. However, it wasn’t the time for such thoughts. After all, he and Su Han might die here at any moment and wouldn’t have a second chance.

  Su Han shared Hao Ren’s thoughts. She was placing her greatest hope on Hao Ren and didn’t care about minor things such as the touching of their bodies.

  Once they arrived at that place, her nature essence would fully recover. Hao Ren’s main responsibility was to help her cross this area full of mountains and wild fierce beasts.

  Thud.

  Hao Ren landed lightly on a stretch of grassland.

  The wild grass was more than two meters tall, hiding Hao Ren and Su Han’s whereabouts. Before the fierce beasts that were usually hundreds of meters tall, they were as tiny as two insects.

  Su Han praised Hao Ren’s route choice silently as it aligned with her own. It seemed that Hao Ren was also observant and had a quick mind.

  “We can’t get separated.” Hao Ren reached back and caught Su Han’s left hand.

  Due to Su Han’s loss of nature essence in the Nine Dragon Palace, Hao Ren couldn’t sense her location easily, and they couldn’t use modern communication devices. If he and Su Han got separated, they would be in trouble.

  With her hand in his, Su Han’s heart raced, and she immediately quickened her steps to walk alongside Hao Ren.

  Su Han’s fingers were cold and smooth like jade.

  Hao Ren gripped her hand and decided on the direction before striding through the grass.

  Su Han gripped her longsword tightly, but since she couldn’t circulate nature essence, she barely had the strength of a martial arts master.

  Hao Ren’s sword energies floated at the top of the two-meter-tall grass to scout the area around them.

  They were now at least about a dozen kilometers away from the mountain on the other side, and it was the most dangerous distance that they needed to cover.

  Gaa! Gaa! Several huge white birds flew in the high sky, and Hao Ren dropped down onto the ground in a hurry, pressing down Su Han with him.

  Hu!

  All the green grass was blown down by the huge wind, revealing about a dozen small beasts that were hiding in the grass.

  The huge white birds reached out their iron-like claws, dashed down to the ground, and grabbed five to six small beasts before tearing them into pieces. Then, they flew to the distance with blood dripping from their claws.

  Due to their small sizes, Su Han and Hao Ren’s bodies were covered by the two-meter-tall green grass as it tilted sideways, helping them hide.

  After the huge birds flew away, the green grass bounced back, and Hao Ren raced forward with Su Han.

  The attack from the huge birds frightened the small beasts in the grass, making it the perfect moment for Hao Ren and Su Han to cross this grassland!

  Swoosh!

  A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from Hao Ren’s back.

  Hao Ren turned his head and saw another huge bird hovering in the sky and throwing a huge rock toward him!

  Bang!

  The 1280 sword energies merged into 256 hundun sword energies, and they stabbed toward the rock!

  With a loud noise, the huge black rock was shattered by Hao Ren’s sword energies before falling on the ground.

  Hao Ren was about to heave a sigh of relief when he found a silent shadow moving toward him from another side.

  Another huge white bird soared toward him with great speed while its fluttering white wings created almost no air currents!

  Hao Ren who had just cast all his sword energies was ashen-faced with shock, knowing that he had underestimated the hunting skills of the fierce beasts in the Nine Dragon Palace!

  Dang!

  Su Han stabbed her sword forward while her body leaned backward!

  The longsword flew out for dozens of meters while Su Han was sent flying for more than ten meters even though she escaped from the claws of the huge bird!

  “Su Han!” Hao Ren yelled and hurried toward her.

  Boom! A burning flame swept toward Hao Ren from the back. The huge white bird that had attacked Hao Ren first struck toward Hao Ren’s shoulders!

  These two birds surrounded Hao Ren and Su Han and attacked separately!

  The huge white birds had an intricate hunting strategy!

  With the one-on-one strategy, they wouldn’t allow Hao Ren and Su Han to get together again!

  When Hao Ren was about to be hit, the sword energies around him condensed into a colorful energy sword as Hao Ren used the first strike of the Mystic Water Sword Techniques!

  Slash!

  Hao Ren’s sword cut off one claw of the huge bird!

  In pain, the huge bird that attacked Hao Ren flew up. Hao Ren looked back and saw Su Han rolling in the grass while the other huge bird clawed up dozens of pounds of soil from the ground beside her!

  She escaped the claw by a few inches. Otherwise, it would have torn her into pieces!

  Without her sword or any nature essence, Su Han was pale. She was about to leap up and roll again when the other claw of the huge bird dashed toward her like a small mountain.

  Su Han clearly saw the red flames in the center of the claw! Dodging it was impossible! She closed her eyes, ready to take this fatal blow!

  Dang! A loud noise almost shattered Su Han’s eardrum.

  She opened her eyes and saw Hao Ren flying up with both hands on the colorful energy sword, piercing the claw and blocking the powerful attack for her!

  The flames in the center of the claw were suddenly jetted out, knocking Hao Ren back onto the muddy ground like a cannonball!

  “Go!”

  The moment that Hao Ren flew out, he waved his arms and commanded that energy sword.

  The colorful energy sword which had pierced through the claw suddenly shot up into the long slim neck of the huge white bird.

  Bang! The colorful energy sword suddenly shattered and turned into hundreds of hundun sword energies, exploding in its long neck.

  The huge bird that was more than 100 meters tall fell to the ground.

  Su Han watched in shock and then stood up with dirty hands while panting heavily.

  Seeing its partner killed, the other huge bird that had lost a toe let out a shrill cry before flying to the distance.

  The two huge birds were behind the group. After seeing that the other bird was killed, this one didn’t linger around. It fled to join its group in a hurry.

  Hao Ren turned and looked at Su Han with fear in his eyes, and sweat was dripping from his forehead. Although the battle lasted only a moment, and they used only three attacks, it was an incredibly chilling experience!

  After dashing over to pick up her longsword, Su Han grabbed Hao Ren’s hand and raced toward their destination, not giving a thought to the wound in her shoulder.

  She was afraid that the huge birds would return. If they did, she and Hao Ren wouldn’t be able to fight them!

  Seeing her purple sweater turning red by the blood that was oozing from her shoulder, Hao Ren also didn’t dare to stop and bandage her wound. He ran with Su Han.

  After running for almost one hour and were certain that the huge birds didn’t return, they finally stopped for a break.

  Their eyes met.

  They both felt lucky after the narrow escape.

  “The medicine is in my ring.” Su Han lifted her hand and said.

  Hao Ren picked up her finger and dug out a dark-red glass medicine bottle from her ring.

  With a frown, Su Han opened the bottle and put some red medicine solution on her shoulder. From her furrowed eyebrows, Hao Ren knew that she was hurting from the stinging in the wound which was caused by the solution.

  She handed th
e bottle to Hao Ren who then put it back into her ring. Hao Ren wanted to ask her if she needed to rest for a few minutes, but Su Han had begun walking with clenched teeth.

  “We must cross that mountain before dark. Otherwise, we won’t find a hiding place, and we will die!” Su Han looked back at Hao Ren after walking a few steps and said.

  Hao Ren turned to look at the almost boundless plain and the flying or running fierce beasts. He had to admit that Su Han was right.

  Su Han lifted her left hand at Hao Ren.

  Hao Ren walked over and took her left hand into his right hand.

  “Let’s go!” Hao Ren locked his fingers with hers and strode forward steadily.

  In this open space, flying on his sword energy was the most dangerous act. The relative safer way was to walk in concealment in the high wild grass to reach the mountain on the other side.

  Walking by Hao Ren’s side with her fingers in his tight grip, Su Han’s heart raced, and she slowly tightened her grip on Hao Ren’s fingers.

  She couldn’t name the feeling that she was having right now.

  However, at that most dangerous moment, she was thinking of Hao Ren.

  That huge noise caused by Hao Ren’s strike was still ringing in her ears.

  The scene where Hao Ren shot up and pierced that huge bird was ironed into her mind.

  With her hand in Hao Ren’s grip, she felt dazed, and her mind was blanking out.

  She finally understood how it felt.

  707 As Gentle and Silent as the Rain 2.3 for 1 Chapter

  The two-meter-tall wild grass grew in the mud, and it was exhausting to trudge through the mud for Hao Ren and Su Han.

  Su Han wore a white windbreaker and a purple sweater with black tights and white boots.

  However, while she trudged with Hao Ren, her white boots were covered in mud, and her white windbreaker turned dusty after she rolled on the ground to dodge the huge birds.

  It would take people several hours to walk more than ten kilometers even on a highway, let alone in the Nine Dragon Palace which was full of fierce beasts.

  The level 8 and 9 fierce beasts possessed some degree of intelligence, but fortunately, they hadn’t transformed yet and didn’t possess true intelligence.

  Despite the same environment as the Demon Sea, Hao Ren and Su Han hadn’t seen any Transformation Realm fierce beasts while they trudged through the grassland.

  “There should be level 10 demon beasts in the Nine Dragon Palace, but I don’t know if there are any Transformation Realm demon beasts here,” Su Han said while she stumbled through the mud, holding onto Hao Ren with her left hand.

  “I don’t think so since the Nine Dragon Palace is sealed off from the outside world, and there’s no heavenly lightning for them to pass the Transformation Tribulation,” Hao Ren said.

  Su Han turned her bright eyes toward Hao Ren and realized that he was right after a moment of consideration. She was surprised that Hao Ren was so familiar with the details of Heavenly Tribulations.

  She didn’t know that Hao Ren had gained some knowledge about the habits and features of demon beasts after his trip in the Demon Sea, especially how they passed Heavenly Tribulations.

  It was why he had a general idea of the movement patterns of the ancient fierce beasts in the Nine Dragon Palace and had chosen the safest route accordingly to reach the mountain on the other side.

  The longer Su Han walked with Hao Ren, the more experienced she thought he was, and thus the safer she felt.

  Her fast walking pulled the wound in her shoulder, and she was in pain. However, Su Han gritted her teeth and didn’t show any sign of pain.

  “If you are tired, I can carry you on my back!” Hao Ren turned his head and said after feeling Su Han’s steps getting heavier

  “I’m fine!” Su Han frowned.

  She didn’t want Hao Ren to think that she was fragile.

  The sky had brightened. There was no sun in here, but Hao Ren estimated that it was about noon, and they had covered less than half of the distance.

  If they didn’t speed up, they wouldn’t be able to reach the mountain on the other side before nightfall, and fierce beasts on the plain would surround them. More importantly, they probably wouldn’t be able to fend off the cold during the night.

  After entering the Nine Dragon Palace at midnight, Su Han almost couldn’t bear the chill even though it had been only half a night. Today, she was wounded and exhausted. If she couldn’t have a good rest, she would find it difficult to pass the night.

  The chilliness in the Nine Dragon Palace was different. No matter how much they wore, they couldn’t fend off the chill alone.

  They must increase their speed.

  Determined, Hao Ren suddenly caught Su Han’s left hand and pulled her into his arms before lifting her legs with his left hand.

  Caught off guard, Su Han was lifted into his arms.

  Then, Hao Ren swung her over his shoulder and carried her on his back.

  “You!” Su Han was surprised and felt ashamed.

  With his hands pressing under Su Han’s smooth thighs, Hao Ren bent forward a bit and dashed like a shooting arrow.

  Thud! Thud… Running on the muddy ground, Hao Ren dashed through the dense grass with his body tilted forward at 45 degrees.

  The grey sword energies followed Hao Ren’s body like hundreds of cameras, scouting the surrounding area.

  Lying on Hao Ren’s back, Su Han bounced and felt her chest constantly crashing onto his back. Blushing, she immediately reached out to tighten her arms around his neck, making herself press onto his back tightly.

  She didn’t want Hao Ren to carry her because she didn’t want to feel weak and was worried that she would exhaust Hao Ren’s physical strength.

  However, now she knew that her second worry was ungrounded!

  Hao Ren’s physical strength far exceeded her expectation!

  In the Nine Dragon Palace which was full of hundun energy, Hao Ren was like a fish in the water. The only drawback was that his realm was lower than those demon beasts’, so he didn’t dare to fight them head-on.

  While Hao Ren inhaled the hundun energy quickly, he maintained a quick pace.

  Su Han had never been carried by a man before, which was why she couldn’t help but blush despite her efforts to contain her distracting thoughts, knowing that they were still in the Nine Dragon Palace.

  Hao Ren had crossed the line by forcing his will on her!

  Despite her anger, she admired his great strength when he dashed forward in the grassland as if he were in a 100-meter race!

  “I will settle the accounts with him later!” Clenching her fists, she held Hao Ren’s neck tighter and pressed her chest onto his back.

  Swoosh!

  Hao Ren leaped lightly over a rock.

  His movements were so agile that it seemed like he had been moving around in the mountains all year round.

  Su Han bounced up and down on Hao Ren’s back. Feeling her chest tingling and hurting, she wished that she could walk by herself.

  However, Hao Ren locked his hands on her thighs tightly, and his fast pace didn’t give her to chance to jump down from his back.

  Having sent the sword energies to scout the situation ahead of them, Hao Ren suddenly moved aside and walked around a swamp that was hidden by the grass.

  Lying on his back, Su Han was swung to the side violently before swinging back. Her chest rubbed against his back so forcefully that she was sure that Hao Ren felt it. It made her blush even more.

  “Did he do it on purpose?”

  Su Han gritted her teeth and put that thought away when she saw Hao Ren’s grim expression.

  The fierce beasts in the Nine Dragon Palace would dash out anytime from anywhere in the grass. Hao Ren was concentrating on the running and didn’t have time for such antics.

  If Hao Ren were a true pervert, he would have gone to bed with Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters who had stayed with him for a long time. At least he would have done th
at with Xie Yujia.

  However, before they entered the Nine Dragon Palace, Su Han had clearly sensed that Hao Ren had an intact Vital Yang Physique. In other words, he was still a virgin!

  Boom!

  Hao Ren’s sword energies suddenly flew to the side and exploded a fierce black beast that was at least two-meters-tall.

  With Su Han on his back, Hao Ren leaped up lightly and covered more than ten meters while the sword energies hit back and knocked away a black three-tailed tiger that was lurking in the grass on the left.

  Tap! Tap! Tap!

  Hao Ren sped up and continued to run.

  Distracted, Su Han tightened her grip on Hao Ren in a hurry.

  The two-meter-tall wild grass shook in waves as if small beasts were running around in it.

  Spitting black flames from their nostrils, two three-tailed black tigers sprang at the spot where the grass shook, surrounding the prey from the front and the back with their excellent hunting skills.

  With Su Han on his back, Hao Ren moved quickly as if small engines powered his legs.

  Roar!

  The two black tigers leaped up at the same time, crashing toward the movement in the grass.

  With a wave of flashing lights, sword energies shot out from the grass and disappeared gradually.

  Su Han looked back and saw the two black tigers leaping up, which made her admire Hao Ren’s smart strategy.

  He had made the grass move with his sword energies and thus drew the two black tigers toward the opposite direction, buying them time to escape.

  “He is not only brave but smart as well,” Su Han said in her heart.

  “We’ve reached the end.” Hao Ren suddenly bent down, and Su Han slid from his back toward the ground. Before she dropped to the ground, Hao Ren held her slim waist lightly, helping her gain her balance.

  Gritting her teeth, Su Han looked at Hao Ren with anger and helplessness.

  She looked in the direction of Hao Ren’s gaze and saw that they had reached the edge of the grassy swamp on this vast plain, and there was a big grassland in the open space before them.

  Although grass could conceal all kinds of fierce beasts, it also offered them protection from the huge, fierce beasts. However, it was difficult to reach the mountain on the other side if they had to travel through the open space.
