Hua… When Hao Ren and the others turned to leave, the three metal-elemental dragon cultivators were also released from the Dragon God Palace.
Seeing Hao Ren, they didn’t dare to mess with him. Instead, they fled to the opposite direction, didn’t want to get close.
A demon king who could destroy the Dragon God Palace and the twin Soul Formation Realm cultivators were more than they could handle!
They wouldn’t dare to make trouble for Hao Ren again even if they could get the chance to enter Ninth Heaven, let alone only Wang Shitong’s cave abode.
Looking back at the three metal-elemental dragon cultivators who fled in a different direction, Hao Ren turned his gaze to Lady Zhen by his side and asked, “Didn’t Su Han come back?”
Lady Zhen glanced at him in exasperation. “Do you want me to attack the Dragon God Palace with an inspector?”
“Ugh…” Hao Ren was speechless.
The golden shield which had come with Xie Yujia hovered beneath Hao Ren’s feet, supporting him.
“She’s trying to break into peak Qian-level in the Demon Sea and will be back in a few days,” she continued.
“Got it.” Hao Ren nodded. When he didn’t see Su Han, he had been worried.
Lady Zhen glanced at Hao Ren again and said, “They were lenient on you.”
While she spoke, she placed her hand onto Hao Ren’s shoulder.
A surge of powerful demonic essence suddenly entered Hao Ren’s body, and he felt like his withered meridians were instantly filled up while his exhausted nature essence was replenished.
Yue Zilong had shattered his sword energies but didn’t destroy his meridians, which meant that Yue Zilong wasn’t cruel toward him.
“The 1,000-year cultivation strength of a peak Qian-level dragon cultivator, the origin essence of a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, your own cultivation strength, and my demonic essence…” Lady Zhen looked at Hao Ren and said, “The miscellaneous energies in your body are enough to have a party.”
Hao Ren shook his head helplessly. Ever since he began cultivation, he had indeed gotten all kinds of energy injected into his body, including Zhao Haoran, Old Grandma, Su Han, Lady Zhen, the Lu sisters, and even Little White… These energies had the same basic properties, but different features, and they were all gathered in his body, causing different effects.
“You are lucky that you didn’t die from it. An ordinary person would have died if such a mixture of energy entered the body,” Lady Zhen said.
Hao Ren knew that he should thank the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll which could control different energies with different sword energies, making them at peace in his body.
However, with his increase of realms, he would need purer nature essence, which meant that he would have to refine these different energies again sooner or later.
Hao Ren activated the demonic essence that Lady Zhen injected into his body and unblocked all the meridians, recovering the realm of mid-tier Xun-level.
“Well, Yao asked me to rescue you as well,” Lady Zhen glanced at him and said.
Flying by her side, Duan Yao remained silent.
“Can I leave Yao in your care for a few days?” Lady Zhen asked while turning her bright and cold gaze toward him.
“Ugh. Not at all,” Hao Ren answered.
After being rescued by Lady Zhen from the Dragon God Palace, he couldn’t refuse such a small request.
“Well. Since Qin just came back to life, I plan to travel around the world with him, but I’m afraid this little girl will get bored alone in the Demon Sea,” Lady Zhen said.
Sweat popped out on Hao Ren’s forehead when he heard this explanation. Then, he glanced at Duan Yao and realized that she still looked cold.
Perhaps due to her outfit or the fact that she had reached the Nascent Soul Realm under the guidance of Lady Zhen, Duan Yao now looked like a small demonic girl. Although her movements were not as charming as Lady Zhen’s, she was quite attractive.
“You can take her with you, and I’ll come and pick her up in a few days,” Lady Zhen said.
Suddenly, Hao Ren felt like Lady Zhen had rescued him so that he could take care of Duan Yao in the city instead of doing it because of their good relationship.
“Or… did Duan Yao pick me to take care of her?” Hao Ren pondered.
Hao Ren glanced at Lady Zhen’s pretty profile again and gave her the benefit of the doubt.
He suspected that Lady Zhen and her Qin probably wanted to leave the Demon Sea temporarily to avoid something and didn’t want Duan Yao to stay in the sea during this period.
“Perhaps Lady Zhen’s husband would need to battle a powerful enemy, and Lady Zhen wants to guard the Demon Sea with him but didn’t want Duan Yao to take the risk with her…” Hao Ren guessed in his mind.
Lady Zhen’s expression was mild while a mysterious smile appeared, making it hard for Hao Ren to understand her true intention.
Stepping on his black disk, Zhen Congming was flying ahead of Lady Zhen, trying to get back and see Wu Luoxue.
Seeing his impatience, Lady Zhen reached out and hit him on the back of his head.
Zhen Congming who had been flying at a great speed dashed forward more than ten meters before looking back angrily. When he saw that it was Lady Zhen, his expression immediately turned silly.
“I didn’t plan on saving you.” Lady Zhen gave him a cold look.
While maintaining his silly smile, Zhen Congming finally slowed down and flew alongside Lady Zhen, asking charmingly, “Mom… Do you have Demon Transformation Pills?”
Goosebumps appeared on Hao Ren’s skin when he saw the usually fierce Zhen Congming looking this way, wondering if all demon beasts were like him.
“For what?” Lady Zhen looked at him coldly.
“Ugh… This…” Zhen Congming didn’t know how to respond.
“You always make trouble on land. Now that your dad woke up, you will rule the Demon Sea one day…” Lady Zhen looked at him and said, “I’ll give you two choices.”
Zhen Congming turned to look at her cautiously.
“The first is to return to the Demon Sea with me. Your dad wants to see you and check your cultivation progress.”
Zhen Congming looked at her and swallowed his saliva, looking reluctant.
“The second is that you can stay in East Ocean City but under one condition.”
Zhen Congming looked up immediately.
“I know you like Wu Luoxue. If you can win her heart, I’ll let you stay outside of the Demon Sea temporarily,” Lady Zhen said.
Hearing her words, Zhen Congming’s eyes brightened.
He was indifferent as to where he stayed as long as he could see Wu Luoxue; that was why he wanted to stay at East Ocean City. He had thought that his mom would object his love toward Wu Luoxue, but she gave him approval!
Zhen Congming was so excited that he almost danced. He had obeyed Lady Zhen in every way possible when he was little, and his lifestyle changed after he was taken out of the Demon Sea by Qiu Niu.
After Lady Zhen came and rescued him, he had thought that he would be brought back to the Demon Sea. However, she had allowed him to remain in East Ocean City and even gave him the mission of pursuing his beloved girl!
Boom!
The group broke through the clouds and entered East Ocean City.
While Hao Ren, the Lu sisters, and Xie Yujia flew toward their home by the sea, Zhen Congming hurried toward LingZhao Elementary School, feeling driven with his mom’s support.
“Yao, go with them.” Lady Zhen looked at Duan Yao and pointed toward the direction of Hao Ren.
Duan Yao bit on her lower pink lip and followed Hao Ren while two spinning fire wheels appeared beneath her feet.
Lady Zhen turned half a circle in the high sky and suddenly released a wave of green light.
The green light spread outward with her in the center. As if it were a response, a slim white light appeared at one location in the city.
Lady Zhen instantly turned into a beam of green light and flew toward that direction.
After cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years, she had some understanding of the Heavenly Dao, and she felt like some changes would happen to the layout of the world.
Since Hao Ren had become Zhen Yuan Zi’s brother, it meant that Zhen Yuan Zi approved him. By sending Duan Yao to Hao Ren’s side, Lady Zhen wanted her to stay out of the unpredictable world disaster.
She had initially liked Duan Yao’s physique and personality, so she had taken the latter to control the Kunlun Godly Lamp. However, Duan Yao had shown extremely good cultivation talent and could truly become the No.1 Demonic Girl in the world.
Ding!
Lady Zhen landed at the entrance of a coffee shop, and the people on the bustling street didn’t notice her sudden appearance.
In her grey coat, Lady Zhen pushed open the door and saw a long-haired woman in a white windbreaker savoring a cup of coffee on a seat by the window.
She looked up and saw Lady Zhen. Then, she turned her eyes toward the street outside of the window.
Lady Zhen walked over like a breeze and sat down across from her.
“Long time no see Bai Ze,” Lady Zhen said.
“Mrs. Hong, it has been a long time,” the beautiful woman named Bai Ze answered mildly.
“Qin Hong is now resurrected,” Lady Zhen unbuttoned her coat and ordered a cup of coffee before continuing.
“Ok.” Bai Ze looked at Lady Zhen. “What do you want me to say?”
“Let’s forget about the past,” Lady Zhen stared at her and said.
“I’m no longer the No.2 Demon King of the Demon Sea. As a mortal woman, I don’t care if the world is changing drastically.” Bai Ze put down the coffee cup and said calmly.
Her white fingers were more beautiful and exquisite than the cup.
“When the chessboard moves, the chess pieces will move as well. If we join forces, the Demon Sea will be invincible,” Lady Zhen said.
“The secret of the Heavenly Dao lies with that kid named Hao Ren. He is the chosen one by of the Heavenly Dao, and I’m only a bystander. I will not show my hand,” Bai Ze said.
Seeing Lady Zhen still staring at her, Bai Ze said after a moment of consideration, “I’ll never return to the Demon Sea, but I’m not sure if Luoxue will.”
“Ok.” Lady Zhen nodded and picked up the hot coffee that the waiter delivered to her, but she didn’t drink it.
“Congming has Qin Hong’s eyebrows and eyes and your personality.” Bai Ze stood up slowly and said, “You and Qin Hong are a couple, and I no longer hold a grudge against you.”
Lady Zhen turned her head slowly and watched this beautiful woman in white walk out of the glass door and disappear in the crowd quietly.
