Dragon King’s Son-In-Law

“What’s the matter? Is our West Ocean Dragon Palace’s Crown Prince not worthy for your Zi?” Seeing Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu not saying anything, Oldman Zeng raised his voice and said.

“Elder Zeng, Zi already has a Fuma,” Zhao Guang said.

“Who’s that?” Oldman Zeng asked on purpose.

“Ren, who just won against Qin Shaoyang, is the Fuma of East Ocean Dragon Palace,” Zhao Guang said with a calm tone.

“Humph!”

Oldman Zeng snorted, and a powerful aura was released. Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu, who were only at top-tier Xun-level, couldn’t stand straight and fell backward immediately.

Elder Mu and Elder Shang, who stood behind them, took a step forward in time and put their palms on their back, supporting them quietly.

Oldman Zeng was extremely arrogant. He was here as a guest, but he dared to be so rude to East Ocean, the host of the party!

Just when Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu were suffocating and couldn’t block the pressure coming from Oldman Zeng anymore, a figured covered with shining blue light landed and struck at Oldman Zeng with a single hand.

Oldman Zeng blocked this strike, and their palms struck against each other!

Peng! Fierce wind fluttered the tablecloth in the banquet hall, and those with weak cultivation power backed up multiple steps, no matter how close they stood.

Oldman Zeng also backed off two steps as his face turned pale.

Zhao Kuo, who stood in front of him, didn’t move at all!

It was clearer who was stronger!

“Oldman Zeng, you’ve secluded yourself for hundreds of years, but I don’t see any improvements! You’re afraid to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation and hid in the West Ocean Dragon Palace. What kind of master is that?” Zhao Kuo shouted at him directly.

Oldman Zeng felt his anger burning in his chest. He wanted to retort but didn’t know what to say. West Ocean had been craving for East Ocean’s territory and resources for a long time, but West Ocean didn’t dare to do anything because of Zhao Kuo’s existence!

Oldman Zeng finally came out of the seclusion cultivation and still wasn’t a match for Zhao Kuo!

“You can only be around for so long. If you can’t pass the Heavenly Tribulation, will there be any other masters in East Ocean?” Zeng Yitao, who stood beside Oldman Zeng, yelled proudly.

“Where did this dumb kid come from? How dare you interrupt me?” Zhao Kuo waved his hand, and a blue light that was the same size as Zeng Yitao appeared in the mid-air and rushed toward Zeng Yitao’s head!

Oldman Zeng was still suffering from chest pains, but he threw out a blue light as well in order to protect his grandson. After an immense collision, the lights both collapsed. Oldman Zeng couldn’t help but took three steps back and almost spit out a gulp of blood!

As expected, this Zhao Kuo had cultivated to the peak realm and was one step away from crossing Heavenly Tribulation! Oldman Zeng was shocked and could only accept this fact.

“Also,” Zhao Kuo took a few steps forward, “Take these ten Mystic Ice back!”

He pulled out ten normal-looking white ice cubes and threw them at Oldman Zeng. However, people with advanced cultivation techniques could see the blinking crystal cores inside. They were the natural Mystic Crystals that cultivators were dying to obtain!

Oldman Zeng caught the ten Mystic Ices and glared at Zhao Kuo.

“Hehe, us East Ocean don’t care about your Mystic Crystals!” Zhao Kuo raised his head. “Do you really think we would let Zi marry West Ocean if we receive your Mystic Crystals?”

Oldman Zeng trembled in anger, but he had to endure because he wasn’t as strong as Zhao Kuo. He thought that Zhao Kuo was still in seclusion for the Heavenly Tribulation and wouldn’t appear at this birthday party. It seemed like they had the wrong information!

“Besides, how can we split them upon receiving? More than one hundred elders in East Ocean needs Mystic Crystals. You want the elders of East Ocean to fight against each other and have the survivor take them all?” Zhao Kuo said.

The few East Ocean Elders looked at each other when they heard Zhao Kuo’s words. Indeed, they did crave for the Mystic Ice when they heard West Ocean gave ten of them away! As Zhao Kuo pointed out, they finally realized that West Ocean wanted to make East Ocean’s elders fight for them and cause discord! It was because no matter how Zhao Guang distributed the ten Mystic Ice, there would always be dissatisfied elders!

“Also, if all the elders seclude themselves for cultivation for three to five years, what should we do when there’s an invasion?” Zhao Kuo said again.

Hearing Zhao Kuo yelled loudly, Zhao Guang nodded silently. This younger brother of his was normally careless, but he wasn’t foolish when it came to major incidents. Zhao Guang also thought of these in-depth reasons, but it was difficult to refuse the Mystic Ice since he was the Dragon King.

Yet, Zhao Kuo revealed Oldman Zeng’s plots completely by making a scene!

Oldman Zeng laughed awkwardly. “Elder Zhao worries too much. Nowadays, the whole world is at peace and us five-elemental Dragon Clans are as close as a big family. How will there be an invasion?”

“Humph, it’s hard to say,” Zhao Kuo glanced at him and returned to the crowd.

In fact, he had been in the banquet hall since Hao Ren and Qin Shaoyang started battling. He didn’t want to help because he didn’t like Hao Ren either and wanted Hao Ren to make a fool of himself in front of everybody. Nevertheless, he didn’t expect Hao Ren to win and also win nicely.

Hao Ren, who stood nearby, also slightly admired Third Uncle’s attentive to details when he heard Zhao Kuo questioning Oldman Zeng.

He didn’t know that when he and Zhao Yanzi played in Art District, Zhao Kuo appeared suddenly because Qin Shaoyang was stalking them! Zhao Kuo’s malicious words of “who dares to bully Zi, I’ll rip his skin off” was actually for Qin Shaoyang, who was hiding in darkness!

This sentence scared Qin Shaoyang off directly!

How could the person who cultivated to top-tier Qian-level be stupid?

“It’s about time. Let’s get the party started!” Zhao Guang looked around and said calmly.

The crowd moved slowly, and everyone tried to find a seat.

“Sit with us, Ren,” Zhao Hongyu shouted at Hao Ren.

“Okay,” Hao Ren accepted frankly.

Zhao Yanzi also returned back to her mother. She liked to be with Su Han, but Su Han’s identity was an inspector and couldn’t sit with Zhao Guang’s group.

As a Fuma, Hao Ren had to sit beside Zhao Yanzi. They both wore a matching striped dress shirt and looked like a lovely pair underneath the spotlight.

Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu sat at the left side of Zhao Yanzi, and Zhao Kuo sat at the right side of Hao Ren. A few of the specially invited old seniors also sat at this main table accordingly.

West Ocean and East Ocean’s relationship seemed close on the surface; therefore, their seats were close to the main table. However, through a few seniors’ shoulders, Hao Ren could clearly see this West Ocean young master’s sinister gaze.

Su Han sat a bit further with the Dragon Kings of gigantic rivers as she ate and drank alone.

The banquet hall was extremely bustling. All the plates that the servers served were authentic delicacies. Hao Ren had never seen those things before because they were great stuff that could supplement energy and beauty from the Dragon Palace.

More than a dozen female dancers went on stage and danced beautifully with the rhythm of the song.

Zhao Yanzi sat beside Hao Ren and wasn’t interested in the dance at all. She ate slowly and didn’t talk to Hao Ren. This made Hao Ren bored, and he could only eat as well. To his right was the vicious Zhao Kuo and he obviously wouldn’t talk to him.

After a while, the atmosphere became even more animated. Zhao Guang touched Zhao Yanzi. “Today’s your birthday. You can’t just sit here. Go have a toast with all the seniors.”

“Okay…” Zhao Yanzi pouted her mouth and stood up.

“Go with her, Ren,” Zhao Hongyu said.

“Um,” Hao Ren stood up and took his wine glass.

They had to start from the most distant table for the toast. Zhao Yanzi passed through the crowded hall and went to the table that was closest to the door. Hao Ren held his wine glass and walked beside her. They immediately became the focus of everyone’s attention.

Seeing everyone looked towards them, Zhao Yanzi slowed her pace down and went closer to Hao Ren. She hesitated for a bit and held Hao Ren’s wrist.

Under the spotlight, Zhao Yanzi leaned towards Hao Ren lightly and slowly moved her feet in the leather shoes. Her delicate palm held on to Hao Ren’s fingers.

Showing everybody that Hao Ren was her Fuma!

The most distant table was the Dragon Kings of the rivers near East Ocean. They saw Zhao Yanzi walk over with a cup and stood up in a hurry.

Because Zhao Yanzi was only fifteen years old and couldn’t drink alcohol, she could only drink tea instead of wine. The wine served today was Hundred Flower Wine, which was extracted and made from Hundred Flower Palace’s precious herbs. A mortal without cultivation could be drunk for half a day if he or she took a small sip.

Zhao Guang seemed like he was in his thirties or forties, but he was actually more than 200 years old. Yet, Zhao Yanzi was really fifteen years old. It seemed like Zhao Guang was strict towards Zhao Yanzi, but he truly spoiled his daughter a lot. It was a fact that all the nearby Dragon Kings knew.

Therefore, these river Dragon Kings didn’t dare to give her an attitude and were polite when Zhao Yanzi came to have a toast.

Going through one table after another, Zhao Yanzi wasn’t afraid of getting drunk because she drank tea. However, Hao Ren felt slightly dizzy from drinking.

Zhao Yanzi dragged Hao Ren and was afraid he would pass out.

After almost finishing the whole round of tables, Hao Ren’s hand was covered in sweat, and Zhao Yanzi finally changed the position and grabbed Hao Ren’s arm with her own. This way seemed even more intimate.

The last table other than the main table was Oldman Zeng’s table.

In fact, Zhao Yanzi didn’t want to go and have a toast with them, but she had to walk over reluctantly under everyone’s gaze.

On the surface, West Ocean and East Ocean were still stable as allies! Even the seats for West Ocean was the closest to the main table!

“Grandpa Zeng, Zi wishes your life be filled with happiness as vast as the sea, and your longevity be as everlasting as the mountain!” Walking to the table, Zhao Yanzi held up her cup and said lightly.

“Humph!” Oldman Zeng snorted lightly. However, he couldn’t just get mad for no reason when all the eyes in the building were on him

In fact, Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu already made Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi go around the hall and greet all the guests together. It was just like announcing that Zi was taken and East Ocean had its Fuma!

If anyone wanted to be in-laws with East Ocean, it would be pitiful because East Ocean’s little princess, Zi, was already engaged!

At this time, Hao Ren closely looked at the jealous gaze of this ‘West Ocean’s Young Master’!

“Little Zi, I’ll talk to the East Ocean ‘thoroughly’ after the party’s over!” when Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren were about to leave, Oldman Zeng said solemnly.
