Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Chapter 679: The Golden Shield Must Do Work!

Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Sitting on Little White’s back, Hao Ren flew out of the array formation of the Dragon God Shrine and toward the seashore.

He was surprised to encounter Qin Shaoyang in the Dragon God Shrine, but he didn’t mind fighting the latter to test his own strength.

However, he had just returned from the Demon Sea and hadn’t recovered his full strength yet. Besides, he wanted to go back and ask Zhen Congming to appraise the things that he took from the Dragon God Shrine, thus having no time to fight with Qin Shaoyang.

Since Qin Shaoyang remained at mid-tier Kun-level, Hao Ren thought that he could win against Qin Shaoyang if he could get to Gen-level and learned the third sword strike of the Mystic Water Sword Techniques.

The golden shield stayed by Hao Ren’s side and occasionally shot thin golden light beams at Little White. Now that it had advanced in realms, it felt freer than before.

Although it didn’t belong to Hao Ren, it favored him emotionally. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have attacked Qin Shaoyang when the latter tried to attack Hao Ren.

At level 4 which was equivalent to top-tier Core Formation Realm, Little White bared its teeth at the golden shield and spat out fireballs when the latter provoked it.

Ignoring their playful fight, Hao Ren took out the Mystic Water Sword Techniques from his necklace and began to study it in peace.

Different from the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, the Mystic Water Sword Techniques must be opened layer by layer according to the practitioner’s spiritual senses and realms, which meant that if Hao Ren lost this jade slip, he couldn’t learn the rest of the techniques.

In the dangerous journey to the Demon Sea, it was fortunate that he didn’t lose the jade slip which contained the Mystic Water Sword Techniques.

Hao Ren merged his spiritual senses into the slip and saw the words and pictures of the second passage which had been vague to him.

It consumed lots of energy to read the jade slip with spiritual senses. After memorizing the first nine variations of the second sword strike, Hao Ren had used up his energy.

If not for the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll which forced him to cultivate all five elements and controlled thousands of sword energies with far better spiritual senses than ordinary cultivators, he probably wouldn’t be able to finish reading all 18 variations of the first sword strike with his current realm of Dui-level.

It had taken Zhao Haoran who was a peak Qian-level cultivator many years to break the array formations on the jade slip. With his high realm, Zhao Haoran couldn’t read all the information, which showed that the jade slip had a much higher standard for cultivators than all the other precious techniques stored in the East Ocean Dragon Palace. This jade slip could very well be called an Immortal Object.

After disengaging his spiritual senses from the jade slip, Hao Ren put it back into the necklace carefully.

Little White had returned to the sky above East Ocean City, but it didn’t land without Hao Ren’s order. The sky was getting dark while the city was still engulfed in a drizzle.

“Let’s go back!”

Hao Ren put away the golden shield and patted Little White’s head.

In the small house, Zhao Yanzi and the others were waiting for his return. The moment that he entered the house with Little White in its puppy form, he was greeted by Grandma’s complaint.

“Little Xue’s family came to visit us and left after dinner. You bad boy! You were out for the whole day!” Grandma waved the cane in her hand as if she were going to hit Hao Ren with it.

“It’s my fault. My fault…” Hao Ren surrendered immediately. Then, he saw the rosewood cane in Grandma’s hand and asked, “Where did you get this?”

“Little Xue’s mother gave it to me. She brought it especially from another city!” Grandma poked Hao Ren lightly with the tip of the cane, not wanting to hurt him.

Hao Ren was surprised that Wu Luoxue’s family had come to visit. However, upon the second thought, the two families were close because of Zhen Congming, and it wasn’t so strange that Mayor Wu came to visit them.

Hao Ren hadn’t met Wu Luoxue’s mom yet, and he felt bad that he wasn’t home when her family came to visit his family.

“Grandma, come and visit my school with Mom and Dad tomorrow. I’ll go back to school tonight! Afraid that Grandma would hit him again, Hao Ren said in a hurry.

“Ok. I’ll go with your mom and dad. Will Little Su be in the school?” Grandma asked.

“Yeah…” Hao Ren sweated, knowing that Grandma missed Su Han.

Xie Yujia and others were ready to return to school as well, and they had their bags ready in the living room. They had been waiting for him to return. Otherwise, they would have gone back to school in Mayor Wu’s car.

“I’ve packed clothes for you. It’s getting cold, and I packed several thick jackets for you,” Xie Yujia lifted the bag and said.

She was a careful and considerate girl, and Hao Ren didn’t have to worry about anything in everyday life.

“Ok… Wait a minute.” Hao Ren walked to Zhen Congming’s room after pushing open the door.

Using the keyboard and the mouse skillfully, Zhen Congming was sitting in front of a brand-new laptop, playing an online game.

Hao Ren didn’t remember his parents buying a laptop for Zhen Congming, so he guessed it must be a gift from Wu Luoxue’s parents.

It seemed that Wu Luoxue’s parents liked Zhen Congming. Of course, they also wanted to be in a good relationship with Hao Ren’s family.

“Hey! Have a look at these two things for me.” Hao Ren dug out the white cloth and the glove that he got from the Dragon God Shrine and placed them in front of Zhen Congming.

Zhen Congming stopped gaming for a second and glanced at the two things in Hao Ren’s hands, saying, “Garbage.”

“Look carefully!” Hao Ren pushed the things before his face.

Zhen Congming took them up and turned them around in his hands impatiently.

“This cloth is made with heavenly silk spat out by Heavenly Silk Worms, Ding-level demon beast. The silk threads are very hard, and the things made with them are water-proof and fire-proof. Besides, no matter how dirty it gets, it will get clean again when you burn it with fire or put it in water.”

“How about its functions?” Hao Ren asked immediately.

“It’s obvious…” Zhen Congming looked at Hao Ren in disdain and said, “It’s just a high-level rag used to clean dharma treasures!”

“Ugh…” Hearing Zhen Congming’s words, Hao Ren felt as if he choked on a fish bone.

At the moment, the golden shield came out from Hao Ren’s necklace and hovered in the air around Hao Ren. As a supreme spiritual treasure, it had some intelligence and knew that it shouldn’t come out when mortals were present.

Since only Hao Ren and Zhen Congming were in the room, it jumped out in a hurry when it realized that Hao Ren had taken out the white cloth.

Hao Ren looked at it furiously, finally knowing that it had paid special attention to the white cloth because the cloth could clean its body!

The golden shield flew in front of Hao Ren’s chest and emitted soft golden light. Although it had advanced to a higher realm, it had turned into a black plate from the previous form.

If Hao Ren cleaned it regularly, it probably could return to its previous form.

“Get off!” Hao Ren pushed the golden shield away, not in the mood to serve the golden shield which was even more shameless than Little White.

However, the golden shield flew over and rubbed against the white cloth in Hao Ren’s hand itself; it looked more shameless than Little White.

“Anyway, it’s an item from ancient cultivators, and the Heavenly Silk Worms are extinct now, at least in the mortal world. This square cloth can fix the cracks on the dharma treasures and nurture dharma treasures’ spirit properties, which makes it a good treasure,” Zhen Congming continued.

The golden shield was still rubbing forcefully against Hao Ren’s palm. Hao Ren tossed the white cloth onto the windowsill, and the golden shield immediately flew over and continued stroking itself on it.

“Then… How about this?” Hao Ren picked up the broken glove.

“This is also an item from the ancient cultivators, but it is damaged. There are lots of similar stuff at the bottom of the Demon Sea. They are used to operate dharma treasures, increase their powers, and catch the opponent’s dharma treasures. If you want to use it, you must fix it first. Its value is mediocre,” Zhen Congming said lightly.

Zhen Congming said the value was mediocre, but Hao Ren was satisfied with this appraisal, knowing that Zhen Congming was very picky. Since he intended to give this glove to Xie Yujia, it was a good fit for her.

“Well… Can you fix it for me?” Hao Ren asked him.

“Fix it?” Zhen Congming arched his eyebrows. “I don’t have time for that! I have homework to do!”

Hao Ren looked at him, thinking, “You have homework to do, but you’re still playing games. With your lazy attitude, do you think you can make Wu Luoxue like you?’

Zhen Congming turned his head and looked at the golden shield which was rolling on the windowsill as if it were easing an itch. “This supreme spiritual treasure can fix this low-level dharma treasure!”

“It… can fix?” Hao Ren looked at the golden shield in surprise.

“It’s nothing to be surprised about. In fact, the golden shield is more powerful than you, and it’s nothing for it to fix a damaged dharma treasure,” Zhen Congming curled his lips and said before returning to his game.

He sounded as if Hao Ren were even less useful than a dharma treasure!

Glancing at him, Hao Ren didn’t retort since he had gotten all the information that he wanted. Despite Zhen Congming’s cutting words, he had great knowledge and sharp eyes after staying with Qiu Niu for years.

Seeing the golden shield still lying on the white cloth, Hao Ren picked up the white cloth. Immediately, the golden shield followed it.

Then, Hao Ren put the broken glove in front of the golden shield, but it spun to Hao Ren’s back.

“It’s the same as Little White, wanting only enjoyment instead of contributing…” Hao Ren tossed both items into his necklace, and the golden shield followed them in.

He walked out of the room and saw Xie Yujia and the others waiting for him with packed bags. He smiled and said, “Let’s go back to school.”

If the golden shield wanted to become pretty, it must help him fix the glove. However, he would leave such time-consuming job of dealing with dharma treasures to Xie Yujia.

Thinking of the lazy personality of the golden shield, Hao Ren didn’t want to take it as his natal dharma treasure. However, if he wanted to block 20 strikes from the Dragon God Shrine Master, he must have a powerful dharma treasure!
