Dragon King’s Son-In-Law

Zhao Yanzi sat beside the window when they got on the bus, ignoring Hao Ren and Xie Yujia.

It was the rush hour for students. Because Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were a few steps behind, the seat beside Zhao Yanzi was taken by an excited little boy.

Zhao Yanzi stared out the window quietly as the bus headed forward.

Xie Yujia seemed a bit embarrassed. She actually cared about this little girl from many aspects, but Zhao Yanzi didn’t recognize it at all.

It had been cloudy the past few days, and it is finally sunny,” Xie Yujia said as she looked at the sunset.

Hao Ren nodded, “Yeah.”

Seeing how she was, Hao Ren assumed she didn’t know about the Nine Dragon Palace.

After a few stops, Hao Ren shouted at Zhao Yanzi in the front, “Time to make a transfer, Zi!”

She stood up awkwardly with her mouth pouting; apparently, she hadn’t forgiven Hao Ren yet.

The three of them got off the bus to wait for another bus.

Hao Ren was taller than Xie Yujia, and Xie Yujia was taller than Zhao Yanzi. The three of them looked interesting standing in line.

If it weren’t for grandma’s strong request, Hao Ren would never make the two of them meet again.

The bus stopped in front of them. Zhao Yanzi stepped her right foot on it first. Then she suddenly turned back and pulled Hao Ren up.

She dragged Hao Ren to two empty seats. Therefore, Xie Yujia could only sit behind them by herself when she got on the bus.

Hao Ren looked back at Xie Yujia in embarrassment. Zhao Yanzi still had her stern face, not willing to talk. She rested her chin on her arm as she looked into the ocean a few hundred meters away. She bit her lip from time to time as if she was gritting her teeth.

They kept quiet in the awkwardness until the bus arrived by the beach.

There was still some distance to cover from here to Hao Ren’s beach house. Hao Ren considered that they were girls and asked, “Do you want to stay here, and I’ll go back and come to get you in the car?”

Then, he immediately wondered if they would get into a fight if he left them here.

“That’s alright. I’ll walk with you,” Xie Yujia said.

Zhao Yanzi gritted her teeth. “I’ll walk as well!”

She wanted to wait for Hao Ren to pick her up in his car. But since Xie Yujia wanted to walk, she had to walk with them.

“Ok, let’s go then. If you get tired on the way, you can wait for me to get the car,” Hao Ren said.

“Um,” Xie Yujia nodded. She thought it might be dangerous for her and Zhao Yanzi to wait for Hao Ren on the roadside when it got dark since it was already dusk. Especially when there weren’t many vehicles passing by, not to mention pedestrians.

It never occurred to her that her Five-Elemental Note could take care of five to six bad guys easily.

This Five-Elemental Note was planted in her body by the old Grandma. It lived and grew in nature and would never be used up. The so-called “Life-Death Note” was to inject the Five-Elemental Note into someone’s body according to their acupoints.

The Life Note could save a life while the Death Note could kill the enemies. The Five-Elemental Note Xie Yujia had in her palm today was the Life Note the old Grandma saved and stored in her Laogong Acupoint. It could help her absorb the Nature Essence and allow her to do half the work with double the results.

The explosion that the old Grandma created in Hao Ren’s body was from a Death Note. It had a destructive function but helped Hao Ren to breakthrough over ten openings when used perfectly. But it was still a painful process, and the old Grandma intended to punish him for mistreating Xie Yujia. Otherwise, the little Death Note was enough to take Hao Ren’s life since he wasn’t even on the Zhen level.

Xie Yujia had the Life Note given by the old Grandma in person. The power of it was no less than the Dragon Core in Hao Ren’s body. However, the Dragon Core could not actively defeat the enemy whereas the Life-Death Note combined cultivation and technique. The old Grandma only taught Xie Yujia one Dharma Spell and gave her a Life Note; that was enough to generate tremendous power to defeat enemies.

Hao Ren didn’t waste any time as they both wished to walk with him. So, he led the way in front.

At first, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi were walking behind him. After a little while, they each walked to his side.

Half the sun already sank under the surface of the ocean, and the sunset covered the ocean with a golden blanket. The clouds kept changing in shapes and colors in the sky. They turned from a light gold into dark yellow; the evening glow was magnificent.

The beautiful sun dragged their shadows long. They all kept quiet as they headed towards the ocean.

They walked for a half an hour. Zhao Yanzi’s legs got sore, so she wanted a break. But when she saw Xie Yujia walking with ease, she pretended to be okay and kept walking, gritting her teeth.

It was one thing if she liked Hao Ren. But it was another thing if she lost to Xie Yujia!

Zhao Ren slowed down when he noticed Zhao Yanzi frowning, “Are you ok? Do you want to wait here as I go get the car? It might be another while if we keep walking.”

“Ah…how much longer?” Zhao Yanzi looked at Hao Ren as if she was wronged.

“Half an hour with this speed,” Hao Ren answered.

“How about you go get the car, and I’ll wait here with Zi?” Xie Yujia said immediately. She felt it was bizarre that she wasn’t tired yet after walking for so long.

But Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes at Xie Yujia’s kindness. “Never mind. We’ll get there soon! I’m not tired. Just a little thirsty!”

“Are you…sure?” Hao Ren questioned her.

He remembered when they climbed the mountain she wasn’t this weak. Now her physique, as well as her physical power, were both weakened.

“Not a problem! You are so annoying!” Zhao Yanzi shouted out abruptly. Hao Ren was too scared to ask again, so he merely slowed down his speed.

“Or you could carry her for a bit, Hao Ren?” Xie Yujia suddenly suggested.

“Oh?” Hao Ren stopped to turn to Zhao Yanzi, “Want me to carry you?”

“No!” Zhao Yanzi’s white little teeth made her look like a small angry shark.

Hao Ren laughed speechlessly and headed forward. However, Zhao Yanzi wasn’t following him.

He turned back to look at her, scared to ask any more questions in order not to make her mad again.

Zhao Yanzi lifted her red face against the sunset. She pointed at Xie Yujia, “I want her to carry me!”

Hao Ren looked at her, surprised.

Xie Yujia looked at her as well, stupefied.
