Chapter 653: A Magnificent Appearance…

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

Hua… The rain that was blocked by Lady Zhen’s oil-paper umbrella came pouring straight down.

Grandma turned toward the window and said, “That thunder was so scary… Ah… it’s raining now.”

Hao Zhonghua sat near the window, so he also looked outside.

Six golden flying dragons scattered everywhere from one spot.

“Ah?” Hao Zhonghua rubbed his eyes immediately and looked at the sky carefully again, and he only saw the pitch-black sky with nothing but dark clouds.

Lady Zhen pouted her pretty mouth as she held the spoon with her pinky finger up. She slowly bit into a sweet tang yuan.

It wasn’t worth it for her to get into a big fight with a metal-elemental Heavenly Dragon for a broken umbrella. On top of that, those six peak Qian-level, metal-elemental dragon cultivators weren’t targeting her. They wouldn’t have lived until now if they came straight for her.

“Humph, I knew that dragon was nearby… but he seems to be more powerful than when he first became a heavenly dragon which was hundreds of years ago…” Lady Zhen thought as she put another sweet tang yuan in her mouth.

She had more important things to do on this trip, so it was not necessary to become enemy with this heavenly dragon. Trapping six peak Qian-level, metal-elemental dragon cultivators was only a small issue for this heavenly dragon.

She walked to the window and looked outside; the heavenly dragon had already left.

Hao Ren heard the loud noise and looked outside, but the sky became a bit brighter than before even though the rain kept going.

He got a bowl of sweet tang yuan and walked back over to Duan Yao.

Duan Yao looked up at him, but she kept her hands down, afraid to take the bowl. Then, she looked out of the window and stood up all of a sudden, walking past Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia and trying to open the back door.

There was a small cement area outside the back door; it was close to the kitchen and facing the ocean. Grandma usually cleaned up the vegetables or sun-dried some turnips there.

At this moment, the clouds traveled around in the sky as raindrops fell off the clouds.

The shoreline was grey, and there was only black and white between the sky and the land.

Duan Yao stood in the chilly wind outside the door, staring into the scenery. It was neither magnificent nor beautiful.

She lived on Sixth Heaven where it was spring all year round. Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were both envious of such a pleasant paradise-like place.

However, Duan Yao had never encountered rain before, nor had she seen things such as snow and frost. There were only fogs formed from concentrated nature essence, and there was no change of seasons.

She reached out her hand to touch the cold raindrops that were falling from the sky, feeling lost.

She was a bit curious, a bit excited, and a bit empty inside.

“Rain… this is rain…” She had absolutely no concept of it before. If she still had nature essence, she would love to step on her flying sword and go around the vast rainy ocean.

The ocean was also something that she had never seen before.

The most amount of water she had seen were the lakes between the mountains. The cultivation sects moved their mountains on and above Fifth Heaven, but they couldn’t bring the ocean along. Neither could they bring the change of seasons from the land.

Duan Yao was a bit excited. She suddenly realized that it was a world completely different from her world.

Zhao Yanzi stood in the room and looked at Duan Yao through the glass door.

She gritted her teeth and thought, “This bad girl must be wetting my clothes on purpose!”

Hao Ren stood in the living room and watched Duan Yan; he somewhat understood the surprise and lost in Duan Yan’s eyes.

“Come back inside, Yao. It’s cold outside,” Lady Zhen shouted.

Duan Yao quickly turned around at her call, opened the door, and went back into the house.

Her hands and feet were wet. Even her cheek was red from the cold raindrops.

Grandma looked at her, confused and thought, “Is there anything wrong with this girl. She is acting a bit silly.”

“Come here and wipe yourself dry. The ocean is pretty, right?” Yue Yang handed Duan Yao a towel.

She noticed that Duan Yao was a little girl who came with Lady Zhen. She assumed that this little girl had come from an inland city, and she had never seen the ocean.

Duan Yao kept quiet as she picked up the towel and started wiping her own cheeks. Her cheek was smooth after being wetted by the rain, but Yue Yang was still a little worried about her since she was a mother.

“This little girl doesn’t talk much, but there is a hint of sadness on her face,” Yue Yang thought. She was very attentive; she could understand Zhao Yanzi and also Duan Yao.

“We are here, Auntie!” A pleasant shout sounded at the door as Yue Yang was watching over Duan Yao.

Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu walked inside with a lot of presents in their hands.

“Haha! Finally!” Grandma smiled when she saw Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu.

“You shouldn’t have bought anything!” she said.

“We should have! We are the guests!” Zhao Hongyu placed the gifts at the corner as she noticed two other people she hadn’t met before, Lady Zhen and Duan Yao.

“Congming’s mom is here too, and this is Congming’s cousin. You should know each other since you are relatives, right?” Grandma said with a smile.

“Oh, you are here too!” Zhao Hongyu quickly realized what was going on, so she walked over to nudge Lady Zhen’s arm.

When Zhao Hongyu brought Zhen Congming over, she said that he was her nephew. Therefore, Grandma assumed that Lady Zhen and Zhao Hongyu knew each other.

“Sister Hongyu, thank you for taking care of Congming,” Lady Zhen said as she smiled lightly.

This comment scared Zhao Hongyu. Zhen Congming was a little demon king who had already transformed, so she knew that Lady Zhen was a big demon king from the Demon Sea.

This demon king suddenly appeared in East Ocean City at Hao Ren’s home, which fully alerted Zhao Hongyu.

If she interpreted Lady Zhen’s words in a nice way, the latter was thanking them for taking care of Zhen Congming when he and Qiu Niu stayed at the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

Zhao Guang looked at Lady Zhen and realized Zhao Yanzi was wearing the same kind of dress as her.

He got a bit mad.

Zhen Congming was Qiu Niu’s disciple, so his identity was a bit special. However, Zhen Congming’s mom was a big demon king in the Demon Sea, so it was inappropriate for Zhao Yanzi to wear the same kind of clothes.

They planned to come to Hao Ren’s home a bit later, but they noticed some irregularities by the seashore. That was why they arrived at Hao Ren’s place earlier, which was before noon.

Zhao Yanzi noticed Zhao Guang’s stern look, but she didn’t know what mistake she made.

She secretly moved to Hao Ren’s side.

“You are just in time, Hongyu. Let’s eat lunch at home. The Moon Festival has to be lively like this.” Grandma smiled at Zhao Hongyu as she wrapped her arms around hers.

Zhao Hongyu looked at Duan Yao who was in Zhao Yanzi’s school uniform and smiled towards Grandma as she said, “Ok. Yujia, Linlin, and Lili can help me out!”

Zhen Congming’s mom showing up alerted Zhao Hongyu. This was East Ocean Dragon Clan’s turf after all, and the forces in the Demon Sea had always battled the East Ocean Dragon Clan on the border. They were friendly toward each other.

“Ok, Auntie!” Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters answered immediately at Zhao Hongyu’s words.

“Let me help you, Hongyu,” Yue Yang rolled her sleeves up and said pleasantly.

Lady Zhen was so astonishingly beautiful that she gave Yue Yang a lot of pressure. Therefore, the latter found Zhao Hongyu a lot nicer.

They all went into the kitchen and coordinated with each other in cutting and cleaning the vegetables.

They had never entertained so many guests since Grandma moved into the house. This Moon Festival was extraordinarily lively.

“Change your clothes back,” Zhao Guang said to Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Yanzi pouted since she was unconvinced, but she didn’t dare to say no to Zhao Guang’s order. Therefore, she dragged Duan Yao, and they went into Xie Yujia’s room.

She liked this colorful dress a lot, but she had to return it since her dad didn’t allow her to take it.

A moment later, Zhao Yanzi changed back into her uniform, and Duan Yao got back her colorful dress.

Duan Yao went back to the living room and saw Zhao Guang’s stern face. Suddenly, she felt a connection with Zhao Yanzi. She learned that Zhao Yanzi was the princess of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. In terms of territory and military force, the East Ocean Dragon Palace was much stronger than Sky Mountain Sect.

“I want to rest, Grandma!” Zhao Yanzi appeared to be very grumpy, and she dragged Hao Ren towards the second floor.

She just received a pretty dress which she liked, but her dad forced her to return it; she was very upset.

“I would be marrying Hao Ren in the future anyway, so I won’t have to abide by Dad’s rules anymore,” she thought.

Zhao Guang didn’t know that the dress which Lady Zhen gave to Zhao Yanzi could defend against Nascent Soul Realm cultivators’ attacks easily. Its power was no less than a supreme spiritual treasure!

The East Ocean Dragon Palace didn’t really have a treasure that was as powerful as that dress!

“You only want to play! You are already in Grade Nine!” Zhang Guang squinted his eyes as Zhao Yanzi gave him an attitude.

“Alright, alright. It’s the Moon Festival today. You should give Zi a break.” Grandma waved and said, trying to help the situation.

Zhao Guang suppressed his anger as he looked at Grandma. He was the East Ocean Dragon King, yet he considered Hao Ren’s grandma’s mood. It seemed like Grandma was such a big deal!

“Little Zi, I’ll give you another gift if you don’t want the dress.” Lady Zhen took an object out of her purse and threw it to Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Yanzi had already walked to the stairs, but she reached out her hand and caught it.

It was a very golden bracelet with a heart-shaped pendant on it.

Zhao Guang looked at Zhao Yanzi, and he suddenly lost his ability to speak right before he was going to ask Zhao Yanzi to return it. It felt like he had been frozen.

“I’ll take your life even though you are the East Ocean Dragon King if you dare to embarrass me,” Lady Zhen said to Zhao Guang lightly.

Zhao Guang was about to use his nature essence to get rid of princess Zhen’s suppress, but her voice came into his ears again, “Your younger brother is cultivating in the Demon Sea. It was me who ordered the demon beasts not to kill him.”

“I like Hao Ren, and I have to give him some credit since he is the Commanding General of East Ocean. You are all very nice to Congming, so… why don’t we just stay peaceful between the Demon Sea and the East Ocean Dragon Palace? There will never be demon beasts above level 6 at the west and east borders of the Demon Sea since there are soldiers of East Ocean guarding them. How does that sound?”

Zhen Guang looked at Lady Zhen in surprise. He thought for a bit and slightly nodded.

He didn’t know that Lady Zhen was an eternal demon king who could control all the high-leveled demon beasts in the Demon Sea.

Seeing Zhao Guang didn’t say anything, Zhao Yanzi stood on the stairs and put away the bracelet, which was even prettier than that dress.

She said sweetly, “Thank you, Auntie!”

“Yao, go play with Zi.” Lady Zhen noticed that Duan Yao was spacing out, so she said to her with a cheerful smile.

The East Ocean Dragon Clan was the strongest amongst all four ocean dragon clans. It was also in charge of a large ocean area of the West Ocean Dragon Clan. Its strength would be a few times stronger if they took that super powerful treasure back to the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

Lady Zhen was one of the top-ten demon kings’ wife, and she needed to form an alliance with the East Ocean Dragon Palace in order to take control of the entire Demon Sea.

This was the reason why she came to Hao Ren’s home.

Hao Ren was the medium, and all powers needed to go through him!
