Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Hao Ren returned to the university and grabbed his textbooks from his dorm before heading to class. Just as Hao Ren expected, Huang Jianfeng, Cao Ronghua, and the other guys didn’t even wake up yet after they went back to the dorm.

Xie Yujia was already sitting in the front row when Hao Ren came to the classroom on his own. Ma Lina wasn’t there either.

The class looked empty without the guys.

Xie Yujia waved at Hao Ren, and he smiled back and sat beside her. Instead of asking about where he went in the morning, Xie Yujia focused on writing her notes.

The class appeared to be a lot quieter since Zhou Liren and the other guys weren’t present. Sunlight shined through the window and reflected strips of light on the desks.

“Zhao Jiayi has led the basketball team into the top 16. He didn’t let Wanjun down,” Xie Yujia whispered as she read her notes.

“Oh?” Hao Ren was surprised at how well Zhao Jiayi was doing.

“What are you doing at lunch?” Xie Yujia asked abruptly.

“At lunch? Um… nothing really,” Hao Ren answered.

“Um, come with me to the library; I want to borrow some books,” Xie Yujia said as she smiled sweetly.

Her smile stood out against the sunshine, and it looked very cheerful. Although she was already a university student, sometimes her innocence and youth made her look like a high-schooler.

Time flew by, and it was almost noon. The guys were still not up, and Ma Lina must have been exhausted as well since she missed the later two classes too.

Hao Ren and Xie Yujia went to the cafeteria together for lunch; they seemed exactly like a couple.

Xie Yujia had just reached level 5 of the Qi Refinement Realm; it was a great improvement from where she used to be. However, it was still nothing compared to Zhao Yanzi.

Since she was already working hard and trying to decrease the gap in strength between her and Hao Ren, the only thing left for her to do was to keep a positive attitude.

Xie Yujia started to look around for books as soon as they got into the library. As she was doing that, Hao Ren wandered around as well. The library in the East Ocean University ranked at the top in the country, but it was still a much smaller collection compared to the Profound Cultivation Palace in the East Ocean Dragon Palace.

“Gongzi! Gongzi!”

Hao Ren heard the crisp greetings when he walked around two tall bookshelves.

Lu Linlin and Lu Lili almost hopped into Hao Ren in their grey sweaters. They held onto each other’s arm, and the slightly puffy sleeves of their sweaters made them look very energetic. Also, the flared skirts with thin belts revealed their beautiful legs.

They looked like a pair of dolls in their identical outfits.

“You are here too.” Hao Ren smiled at them.

“What a coincidence to run into Gongzi here!” Lu Lili laughed, revealing her white teeth.

Hao Ren looked at them, guessing it was probably not a coincidence. However, instead of pointing it out, he turned around to look at the books on the shelves.

“Humph, Gongzi hasn’t even hanged out with us lately!” Lu Linlin said in a peevish tone when she saw Hao Ren’s casual attitude.

They looked like a pair of sculptured artworks, all the guys in the area couldn’t even stand up properly after hearing their tones and voices.

They would all want to pick a fight with Hao Ren if they didn’t know that he was strong enough to defeat that captain of the Taekwondo Club from another university.

Lu Lili was too shy to say anything, so she stood quietly beside Lu Linlin, looking at Hao Ren.

“How have classes been for you two?” Hao Ren asked as he took an art book off the shelf and looked at Lu Lili who was quiet.

“It has been alright. We recently bought a camera and had been shooting around with it,” she blushed as she answered with her head down.

Hao Ren laughed and took the book out of the area. The twins pretentiously took two books with them in a rush and followed Hao Ren to the checkout zone.

Xie Yujia had found the book she was looking for in another area as well.

She walked toward Hao Ren and was slightly surprised when she saw Lu Linlin and Lu Lili with him. She simply smiled.

They showed their library cards one by one and got out of the borrowing area with their books. Then, they took the escalator and headed to the ground floor lobby.

Hao Ren sensed the slight awkwardness as the three of them surrounded him.

Neither Xie Yujia nor the twins rushed to their dorms. It was as if they were having a silent war.

When they reached the lobby, all three of them hurried up to walk beside Hao Ren. Xie Yujia wanted to head back, but she didn’t want to lose Hao Ren to the twin sisters.

The four of them walked on the marble floor and headed toward the front door of the library in silence.

“You said you wanted to come to the Hongji Square with me to help me pick a cell-phone case, right?” Xie Yujia suddenly said when they got out of the library.

Hao Ren looked at her in surprise because he did not bring such a subject up.

“There is a new cafe by the north gate, Gongzi. I heard they have pretty good desserts, and we have always wanted to take you there some time,” Lu Lili said while blushing.

They hadn’t seen Hao Ren for a couple of days. It was hard to tell which one of the twins missed Hao Ren more, but they both wanted to come and see him today. They planned the run-in when they sensed him in the library.

Hao Ren looked at Xie Yujia on the left and then the twins on the right. He said, “I have a lot to do today. Maybe another day for everything.”

He didn’t say yes to any of them and went straight to the stairs.

Xie Yujia and the twins looked at each other. Xie Yujia gritted her teeth and walked toward her bike, and Lu Linlin and Lu Lili headed toward the other direction, throwing a little tantrum as well.

Hao Ren circled to the back of the library where there was a large area of grass; he used to let Little White out here a lot.

He looked around to make sure that no one was there before he let Little White out of his necklace.

Little White regained its freedom, and it immediately sneaked into the grass.

Then, it got into position to… poop.

It had to poop regularly even though it ate elixir pills, not to mention a lot of the other stuff.

A strange smell came out of the grass as Little White hopped out of it and circled Hao Ren cheerfully, shaking its head up and down.

“No shame…” Hao Ren rolled his eyes at Little White.

Just when he was pulling it up by the ears, a few girls screamed out, “Ah! Little White!”

They saw it when they walked out of the library.

The girls ran over and circled it. They took all sorts of snacks out of their bags, and they rubbed its body as they fed it. “We haven’t seen you for so long, Little White! We have been keeping snacks in our bags every day hoping that we would run into you!”

Little White chirped contently as it ate all kinds of high-end hotdogs. In the meantime, the girls took turns rubbing it; they wished that they could hold Little White in their arms and pet it, having no idea that it had just pooped.

No one including Hao Ren noticed that several flowers in the grass bloomed and released their fragrances before quickly withering.

These flowers went through a year’s cycle within just a few seconds!

Due to Little White’s ‘irrigation’ from before, these flowers and grasses were growing very well, which was to the school’s chief gardener’s surprise. If someone tested the flowers for medicinal purpose, they would realize that the medicines these flowers could make would be hundreds of times more potent! In addition, these medicines would have side benefits such as improving blood circulation.
