Chapter 752 The Circle… Room?
unning fox's eyes, as if a mischievous ghost was softly peeping out from under his feet, fluffing up to look dignified. Mr. Big Bear floated in the air with indifferent benevolence! Spider's cat, ligh...Chapter 752: Round... Room
The Soul-Sealing technique was a demonic cultivation method, and it could only be practiced by those in the後期 stage of the Core Formation realm. Duan Yao, with her pure fire body, absorbed fragments of the Kunlun Divine Lamp, so Zhen Fei taught her this set of techniques.
After practicing for some time, she would steal one's soul instantly, truly becoming a demoness. Any man, even those who practice cultivation, could not resist her charm.
Duan Yao had just started to learn the technique and tried it out on Xu Ke, scaring him away.
Hao Ren looked at Xu Ke as he walked off and then at Duan Yao's faintly blue light gradually receding. He felt that Duan Yao wasn't easy to deal with either. "He is a soul body," said Duan Yao indifferently.
"What’s a soul body" Hao Ren immediately asked.
Duan Yao didn’t answer and buried her head in her food, which was quite ordinary for regular people but tasted pretty good.
Zhao Yanzi glared at Duan Yao; she hated when she pretended to be mysterious.
Lunch was simple and over quickly. Zhao Yanzi didn’t wear the school uniform today and pulled Hao Ren around campus instead. Xie Yujia and the Li family sisters gave Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren their personal space, but Duan Yao clung to Hao Ren like a light bulb, making Zhao Yanzi grit her teeth in anger.
The students of Donghai University now knew Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi. Some said that Zhao Yanzi was Hao Ren’s fiancée, others said she was his cousin, but no one recognized Duan Yao.
Duan Yao walking beside Hao Ren seemed to make him and Zhao Yanzi siblings, making any intimate feelings disappear from Zhao Yanzi. How could she not be angry
"Hao Ren originally had two sisters who were both very cute," two students coming the opposite way murmured lightly.
Zhao Yanzi felt wronged to death; Hao Ren had bullied her like that, how could he still be her brother.
Seeing their middle school’s lunch break ending soon, she could only covertly hold Hao Ren's hand and slowly walk towards Lingzhao Middle School.
In the past, she didn’t care about Hao Ren at all; now without Hao Ren, it felt like a huge void in her heart.
Duan Yao quietly followed Hao Ren beside him, looking at various students on campus and some dragon cultivators hidden among them.
If she wished to, with her current cultivation realm, she could easily absorb the souls of all ordinary people in the school; even these young dragon cultivators working together might not be able to defeat her.
But Duan Yao didn’t plan on doing that. She enjoyed this peaceful and warm feeling.
I’m a demon, but I don’t want to bring calamity upon humanity.
Hao Ren walked Zhao Yanzi to the door just as Xiao Ling and her boyfriend were outside eating before returning to school.
"Oh, uncle!"
Xiao Ling burst into laughter at seeing Hao Ren.
For a few days prior, Zhao Yanzi had been in low spirits and was cooped up in the dormitory without going out; Xiao Ling thought that Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren had broken up but didn’t know how to comfort her.
Seeing Hao Ren send Zhao Yanzǐ to the school gate today makes one feel that their relationship has been repaired. As a good friend of Zhao Yanzǐ, Little Ling feels relieved.
Zhao Yanzǐ leaned against Hao Ren's side, her face rosy and sweet, radiating sunshine all over.
Little Ling doesn't know how far their relationship has progressed, but she thinks it must be quite deep. Zhao Yanzǐ is lively and beautiful, and when it comes to feelings, she’s very serious compared to other girls. Little Ling feels that the "uncle" really is too happy.
Of course, she also senses that Zhao Yanzǐ's upbringing is still strict; there shouldn't be anything close to the limit happening between them. However, as long as they continue to develop their relationship, it will surely reach that step in the future! While sizing up the "uncle" who seems to be getting more handsome by the day, Little Ling thinks to herself.
As for the beautiful girl beside Hao Ren, Duan Yáo, she is completely ignored by Little Ling.
Zhao Yanzǐ is the most beautiful; how could anyone compare with her!
"Uncle, I'm going in," in front of Little Ling, Zhao Yanzǐ still calls Hao Ren "uncle." She waves at him and follows Little Ling into the school.
Hao Ren's heart flutters hearing her call. He watches her beautiful figure enter the campus, then looks down and smiles. Duan Yáo gazes at the high school campus through the iron gate with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
She doesn't have any concept of campus life, but she can feel the exuberant youthfulness within it.
Hao Ren turns around and returns to Donghai University. Morning classes are over; lacking crystal essence for cultivation hasn’t led to any progress, so he goes to the library to kill time.
Duan Yáo follows Hao Ren in and easily enters the library with the student ID borrowed from him. She accompanies him to the reading room and sits beside him.
The sunlight is good; through the windows, one can see some girls on the grass behind the books waiting for “Donghai University's First Adorable Beast” Xiaobai to appear.
But now Xiaobai follows Hao Zhonghua and doesn't appear in Donghai University.
Duan Yáo sits beside Hao Ren, holding a book with many pictures and flipping through it page by page.
The way she reads is from back to front, which is how ancient books are read.
Hao Ren doesn't bother correcting her; anyway, whether reading forwards or backwards, she can’t understand the content.
Time passes slowly. Xie Yujia sends a text message saying that she's accompanying the Li family sisters to go swimming. Life seems peaceful and comfortable like this.
Su Han hasn't returned to school yet; perhaps he’s preparing for his attempt at the Heavenly Dragon.
Beep beep...
Hao Ren's phone, placed on the table, starts vibrating.
Hao Ren quickly picks up the phone and answers it.
"Uncle, we've finished school!" Zhao Yanzǐ shouts into the phone.
Today in Lingzhao Middle School’s Grade 9, there were two mock exams. Zhao Yanzǐ performed excellently, so she's in a great mood. After Hao Ren’s tutoring, it seems like she has “gotten it.”
"Here she comes!" After hanging up the phone, Hao Ren put the book back on the shelf and ran out of the reading room via the escalator.
He turned slightly to see Duan Yao following closely behind him.
"You... why don't you have dinner with Yu Jia and the others" As he rode the elevator down, Hao Ren told her.
"No." Duan Yao firmly rejected his suggestion.
"This..." Hao Ren didn’t know how to respond.
Throughout the day, he hadn't spoken more than ten words with Duan Yao, but she had been following him step by step.
He also promised Zhen Fei that he would take care of her. Furthermore, it wouldn't be easy to discard a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like her.
Not to mention, with Duan Yao's somewhat extreme personality, who knew what she might do if angered
Hao Ren walked towards the main entrance of the school, and Duan Yao followed closely behind him.
Zhaoyan Zi was waiting on tiptoe at the front gate of Donghai University. Upon seeing Hao Ren accompanied by Duan Yao, her expression instantly changed.
Wearing black over-the-knee elastic cotton tights that accentuated her beautiful slender legs and a ponytail, she attracted many male students’ gazes as they left the university.
"She's coming too!" Zhaoyan Zi pointed at Duan Yao and asked unfriendly.
Duan Yao quietly nodded in place of Hao Ren's response.
Zhaoyan Zi was so angry that she nearly bit her lips, as today her mother had prepared many delicious dishes for Hao Ren to eat, not to entertain this Duan Yao!
But Duan Yao didn’t care if Zhaoyan Zi was furious or not; seeing a taxi waiting by the side of Zhaoyan Zi, she directly got into it.
"Ah..." Zhaoyan Zi shouted in anger and could only get into the car as well.
Hao Ren helplessly shook his head. He couldn’t think that Duan Yao would be so straightforward and followed her mother into the taxi.
As the car approached Zhaoyan Zi's house, the aroma of food wafted out from inside.
Zhao Hongyu was at the door to welcome them but didn't expect that in addition to Hao Ren and Zhaoyan Zi, Duan Yao, Zhen Fei’s disciple, would also get out of the car.
Duan Yao silently followed Hao Ren into Zhaoyan Zi's home and quietly chose a sofa to sit on.
"Mom! It wasn't me who invited her!" Zhaoyan Zi pointed at Duan Yao and complained to Zhao Hongyu.
"You this little girl, so petty!" Zhao Hongyu lightly tapped the tip of Zhaoyan Zi's nose and then smiled at Duan Yao saying, "Duan Yao, right We're about to have dinner."
Yao nodded.
Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes... Why should he be so nice to Duan Yao
She didn't know that since Princess Zhen and Zhao Guang had made an agreement about high-level demonic beasts no longer disturbing the border between the East Sea and West Sea, the pressure on the East Sea Dragon Palace's border was instantly relieved. The surplus troops could rest and recuperate, as well as receive better training.
With this large area of the border resolved, the East Sea Dragon Palace would firmly surpass both the South Sea Dragon Palace and North Sea Dragon Palace!
Princess Zhen was about to be the "Overlord of Ten Thousand Demons" in Demon Sea. As Princess Zhen's sole disciple, Duan Yao wouldn't rank lower than Zhao Yanzi!
If Demon Sea stirred up trouble, as the primary force defending against Demon Sea, the East Sea Dragon Palace wouldn't benefit either!
"Ah Ren, how is it in Nine Dragons Palace this time"
Asked Zhao Guang.
"Hmm, there's been quite a significant breakthrough in my cultivation..."
Hao Ren replied.
After coming out of the Nine Dragons Palace and before meeting with Zhao Guang, he followed his "future father-in-law"'s question and explained the situation inside the Nine Dragons Palace as well as the cause and effect behind the events in Dragon God Hall.
Zhao Guang frowned and listened very carefully. Hao Ren's experiences were now almost beyond him—places like Nine Dragons Palace, Demon Sea, and Dragon God Hall were all areas he was unfamiliar with.
Hao Ren's ease in dealing with these places, his recent return from Dragon God Hall to the East Sea Dragon Palace, all made Zhao Guang very satisfied.
"Brother, I'm late!"
Just as Hao Ren and Zhao Guang were talking in detail, Zhao Kuo rushed into the room from the doorway, nearly damaging it.
"Still so reckless!", scolded Zhao Guang. His cultivation level may not be as high as Zhao Kuo's, but his authority as an elder brother still held weight.
"I've broken through to peak Gān-level, and I can't control my strength," said Zhao Kuo with a grin, immediately rubbing his hands together when he saw the steaming dishes on the table.
"Go wash your hands!"
Urged Zhao Hongyu, who had just brought out a plate of Twice-Cooked Pork from the kitchen, raising her eyebrows.
Zhao Kuo smiled bashfully and could only run to wash his hands.
Zhao Guang led Hao Ren toward the dining table. Duan Yao, who was watching cartoons on TV, quickly stood up and followed Hao Ren over.
The aroma of these dishes far surpassed that of the university cafeteria's lunch.
Seeing Duan Yao sitting at her home's dining table with such ease made Zhao Yanzi very unhappy inside but she had no choice. She pretended to be well-behaved and sat on Hao Ren's other side.
Zhao Hongyu personally poured the drinks and wine on the table, celebrating Hao Ren's success. Now she felt that her judgment was spot-on—Hao Ren truly made for an excellent son-in-law.
Zhao Kuo came out of the kitchen, his hands dripping wet. He plopped down into his seat and shouted at Hao Ren, "Hey Hao Ren! It's about time you consummated your marriage with Ah Zi!"
Blush...
Halfway through drinking from her glass, Zhao Yanzi suddenly spat out the beverage in her mouth. Demon Kings, even a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t be spared; let alone someone like Hao Ren, who was at the peak of the Heaven Tier realm!For this minor cultivator, Ian Hart, it actually triggered...
