The Sun was setting when Hao Ren and Su Han walked out of the Administration Building.
Wearing a white coat, black tights, and a pair of white boots which accentuated her beautiful legs, Su Han looked fresh and elegant.
Some students looked toward them when they saw Hao Ren and Su Han walking out from the Administration Building together.
When the wind blew up her windbreaker, Su Han looked elegant and relaxed with her long legs exposed, revealing her charming beauty.
Hao Ren turned to look at the lake in the setting Sun and thought that probably nothing significant would happen in East Ocean University while his absence.
After walking out of the school, Su Han called a taxi. When she got into the back seat, she pulled Hao Ren into the back seat as well.
The students at the school gate saw Hao Ren and Su Han both getting into the back seat, and they began to speculate the new development of their relationship.
After asking for the address, the taxi driver started the car while he glanced at the beautiful Su Han through the rear-view mirror.
Hao Ren sat more than ten centimeters away from Su Han.
Looking out of the window without a word, Su Han revealed her elegant neck. Hao Ren wondered what she was thinking.
On their way, only the radio in the taxi broke the silence in the car.
When they arrived at the apartment complex where Su Han lived, Hao Ren followed her into the elevator. Su Han was silent on the way, and Hao Ren didn’t know what she was thinking.
Hao Ren had been to Su Han’s home before, but he felt as if a lifetime had passed since he was here last time.
Despite the messy kitchen, the apartment looked clean. However, the marble floor looked gloomy and cold in this weather.
Su Han hung up her windbreaker and turned on the heat in the apartment.
The flexible purple sweater fit her body tightly, revealing her beautiful figure.
Su Han lifted her wrist and checked her silver watch. “We’ll set off at midnight.”
“Ok.” Hao Ren nodded.
“The dinner… is instant noodles,” Su Han continued.
“Ugh…” Hao Ren froze for a moment and had to agree to her suggestion.
After taking off the pair of tall, white boots and pushing her feet into pink slippers, Su Han put a thin silk robe around her before getting busy in the kitchen. It seemed that she didn’t want Hao Ren to stare at her gorgeous figure in the sweater.
Leaning on the sofa, Hao Ren turned on the TV and surfed through the channels, thinking that this might be the last casual moment before their adventure.
Su Han clanked around with the pots and pans in the kitchen, and Hao Ren wondered why she was making so much noise while cooking only instant noodles.
They were alone in the big apartment; it felt lonesome but also intimate.
If she weren’t a cultivator, with her elegance and academic background, Su Han could easily have been a young business elite with a job paying over 500,000 yuan a year, living an uneventful and happy life.
Hao Ren turned his head slightly and looked at Su Han who was in the pink slippers and black tights in the kitchen.
Her black hair had some golden strands which were accentuated by the light, and her slightly curly hair fell on her cheeks, making her look gentle.
Slap… Su Han returned to the living room with two bowls of instant noodles in her hands.
Hao Ren smelled the aroma of the instant noodles and thought that Su Han’s cooking skills had improved. Meanwhile, the match-making show on the TV was showing the female guests with charming smiles.
Seeing Hao Ren watching TV while eating the noodles, Su Han suddenly picked up the remote control and changed the channel.
Hao Ren felt a bit frustrated when the channel was suddenly changed while he was ready to hear one of the female guest’s self-introduction.
“After the rainy season, the mating season begins…”
Su Han happened to change the channel to the Animal World, and the narrator was speaking these words.
“Cough!”
Hao Ren almost sneezed the noodles out from his nose.
Su Han’s cold face blushed suddenly, and she picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.
Since Su Han didn’t like to talk, the room was plunged into silence after the only sound was turned off.
Hao Ren ate the noodles noisily, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
“Get yourself ready. It’s not a field trip,” Su Han said.
“Got it.” Hao Ren picked up the bowl and slurp the soup as well.
Su Han frowned and pursed her lips, thinking that Hao Ren was acting as if this were his own home.
However, she didn’t want to scold him or anything; she only thought that he was a bit too casual. After going into her room, she took a bathrobe and took a shower in the bathroom.
While eating the noodles, Hao Ren listened to the sounds of the shower in the bathroom and finally hiccupped with great satisfaction.
It was hard to say what would happen in the Nine Dragon Palace, and Hao Ren had planned to have a good meal before they set off. However, Su Han just treated him with instant noodles.
“Forget it! I’m full anyway and ready to fight in the Nine Dragon Palace,” he thought.
He dumped the two paper bowls into the garbage can in the kitchen and sighed heavily when he saw the sink that was filled with dirty plates.
“Su Han is terrible at housework…” Hao Ren rolled up his sleeves, picked up the detergent, turned on the tap, and began to wash the plates that had accumulated for about five to six days.
“I’m cleaning even though I don’t know if we can come back or not,” Hao Ren thought while he placed the clean plates and utensils into the cupboard.
After walking out of the bathroom in her bathrobe, Su Han watched Hao Ren clean up the kitchen in a daze. Then, she went into her bedroom and put on her purple sweater and black tights while biting her lips.
Hao Ren was acting like a great husband, but who could belittle him for that?
Even Su Han had underestimated Hao Ren’s potential many times.
“Maybe… He could reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm as well?” Su Han thought while she watched Hao Ren clean the kitchen.
Hua… Hao Ren washed the rag and hung it on the hook above the sink before walking out of the kitchen.
Standing at the door to her bedroom, Su Han looked at him and then turned her gaze away as she cleared her throat slightly.
“Drop the insignificant work. There are only four hours before we set off for the Nine Dragon Palace. You must take the time to cultivate and get ready.”
Despite her words, she suddenly felt like Hao Ren was her husband while he was cleaning the kitchen.
This feeling was a mental blow to Su Han who had lived alone for a long time.
“Ok!” Hao Ren entered her cultivation room and sat down cross-legged.
Following him into the room, Su Han lit some incense and placed her longsword beside her before closing her eyes to rest.
This time, she and Hao Ren would go to the Nine Dragon Palace, a place even the deputy shrine masters of the Dragon God Shrine couldn’t enter without permission.
Su Han felt a bit nervous, and small ripples appeared in her mind. But quickly, she suppressed her emotions with her technique, and her mind became smooth again like the surface of a lake.
Seeing her beautiful posture while she rested with closed eyes, Hao Ren placed his hands on his knees, exhaled deeply, and circulated his nature essence using the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
Just as Su Han had said, they were not going on a field trip, and they couldn’t afford to be careless.
Time ticked away silently in the quiet cultivation room. When Hao Ren was gathering all the nature essence into his dragon core, Su Han’s voice broke the silence.
“Let’s go!”
With a slight push, Su Han opened the window. The slim and longsword rose in the air automatically, and Su Han slipped her feet into a pair of white boots before shooting out of the window on the longsword.
Without hesitation, Hao Ren jumped out of the window. The moment he began to drop, the purple gold hairpin appeared beneath his feet. With a golden light, he followed Su Han tightly.
The Nine Dragon Palace was on Fifth Heaven, but only Su Han knew its precise location.
After traveling above the misty lakes and mountains, Su Han and Hao Ren entered Fifth Heaven.
Ding!
Su Han observed the terrain and shot out a dragon nail.
The silver nail shot into the mountain with a radiant white light.
Stepping on the longsword, Su Han swept to the distance with extremely fast speed and shot out another silver dragon nail.
Another light dot appeared in the rolling mountains.
As long as a palm, the dragon nails were very powerful at building array formations and locating other treasures.
Su Han led Hao Ren around a mountain before shooting out another dragon nail.
This place was far from Hao Ren’s Ethereal Summit, and he had never been here before.
While her longsword swept across a deep valley, Su Han shot out another dragon nail toward the black mountain.
After several tries, the five white lights flashed vaguely in the area with a diameter of 1,000 kilometers.
“Go!”
Su Han threw out the longsword with all her force, releasing all the strength of top-tier Qian-level.
The black-and-white light instantly lit up this area with wondrous radiance.
Su Han cultivated both metal-elemental and water-elemental nature essence. When the metal-elemental nature essence reached its peak, it was white, and when the water-elemental nature essence reached its peak, it would be black.
Su Han’s current realm was close to peak Qian-level!
All the strength that she had accumulated was released suddenly!
Boom! Boom… Muffled thunderous noises sounded on the quiet Fifth Heaven in the night.
Following Su Han, Hao Ren saw a grey outline appeared in the dark sky.
The Nine Dragon Palace!
It was the Nine Dragon Palace that Hao Ren had once seen!
Like a huge city hovering in the air, it had lots of soil at the bottom while the top was beyond his sight!
Using all her cultivation strength in the attack, Su Han broke the Nine Dragon Palace’s stealth.
Although it was only a vague outline, they had a chance to enter it!
Swoosh!
Stepping on the longsword, Su Han dashed toward the Nine Dragon Palace.
The five dragon nails were stolen from the Dragon God Shrine, and they were holding the shadow of the Nine Dragon Palace in place. However, it would last only dozens of seconds!
Possessing the power of seriously injuring peak Qian-level cultivators, the dragon nails were treasures of the sixth deputy shrine master, and each of them could be used only once. This deputy shrine master only had eight dragon nails left!
Su Han was taking a great risk to enter the Nine Dragon Palace! She would die if she failed!
Hua… Stepping on the purple gold hairpin, Hao Ren followed her.
With the aid of the five dragon nails, Su Han’s full-force attack only revealed the shadow of the Nine Dragon Palace. Instantly, the outline of the Nine Dragon Palace began to dim and would disappear in the darkness again.
“It’s the aura of dragon cultivators!” A furious roar suddenly came from Seventh Heaven!
