Dragon King's Son-In-Law

The appearance of Hao Ren’s golden boat alarmed the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect, and they backed off several steps when they saw Hao Ren standing at the bow of the boat.

The three Nascent Soul Realm elders, the Sect Master, and his wife stood their ground and cupped their hands at Hao Ren. “Greetings to Master!”

No one was sure if Hao Ren was the Herb King Master; he was a bit too young to be the Herb King Master. Even if he weren’t, he was extraordinary as the senior disciple of the Herb King Master.

This was why the cultivators greeted Hao Ren as Master as if he were Herb King Master himself.

On Hao Ren’s golden boat stood another young girl who looked to be of the same age as Duan Yao, and she wore the same style of traditional dress as Duan Yao.

Staying close to Hao Ren, she seemed to be Hao Ren’s junior sister, but their relationship seemed more intimate than that.

After looking at Hao Ren, Duan Ye suddenly realized that Duan Yao was returning to visit her family after becoming the concubine of the Herb King Master or the senior disciple of the Herb King Master.

He was hurting inside, but he supposed that Duan Yao had achieved the goal of joining Ethereal Summit and could speak for Sky Mountain Sect.

Standing on the boat, Zhao Yanzi looked at Duan Yao and the cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect silently.

The male cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect were also sneaking glances at Zhao Yanzi, finding her pretty and exquisite. They were envious of the Herb King Master for having such a lovely concubine.

Then, they were upset that Duan Yao, the cutest girl in Sky Mountain Sect, had become a concubine of the Herb King Master as well.

Although Zhao Yanzi’s aura was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, they all thought that she was also at the Nascent Soul Realm, just like Duan Yao.

Those Core Formation Realm cultivators who had been to Ethereal Summit were even more jealous when they remembered that Hao Ren had two beautiful maids who were top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

With the Herb King Master’s power, he could do anything he wanted, and no one dared to challenge him!

While looking at Duan Yao, Hao Ren was oblivious to the many thoughts in the cultivators’ minds. After some consideration, Duan Yao said to Duan Ye, “Dad, I want to see Grand Uncle-Master.”

If it were before, Duan Yao wouldn’t be able to summon figures like Lingwu Master. However, since she had reached the Nascent Soul Realm and was one realm higher than her father, Duan Ye didn’t dare to reprimand her.

Duan Ye turned his head and issued an order to a Core Formation Realm cultivator behind him, and that cultivator flew to the back mountain quickly on a flying sword.

“Yao…” Duan Yao’s mother looked at her and called out in a low voice.

Hovering in the high sky, Duan Yao suddenly flew to stand beside Hao Ren on his golden boat.

Standing on the left and right sides of Hao Ren respectively, Duan Yao and Zhao Yanzi both wore colorful traditional dresses and looked like two dolls.

Whoosh… The Core Formation Realm cultivator flew back from the back mountain.

On his flying sword stood an old man, and he was no other but Lingwu Master.

With sunken eyes, a haggard face, and a loose Taoist robe, Lingwu Master didn’t have the aura of a master like before.

After falling from peak Nascent Soul Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he couldn’t recover his original realm and thus had become a wastrel. It was a massive blow to him.

If he weren’t told that Duan Yao had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, Lingwu Master would never have come out from the back mountain.

At this moment, he stood on the flying sword of that junior disciple and studied Duan Yao with cloudy eyes, finding that she had indeed reached the Nascent Soul Realm!

Although his realm had dropped to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his eyes were still sharp!

Remembering that he had to sacrifice Duan Yao for the safety of Sky Mountain Sect, Lingwu Master got emotional when he saw that she had reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

“I’m grateful to Dad and Mom for raising me, to Grand Uncle-Master for teaching me, and to the senior brothers for helping me,” Duan Yao said to them in a clear voice while standing beside Hao Ren.

She took out a small bottle from her pocket and continued, “Grand Uncle-Master, this is a Black Jade Blood Pill that I begged from my master, and it can heal damaged meridians completely.”

Hearing Duan Yao’s words, Lingwu Master who looked like a depressed old man looked up instantly.

He had never heard about the Black Jade Blood Pill, but his hope rose when he heard that it could heal damaged meridians.

The huge essence-locking note from Eighth Heaven had almost shattered all his meridians. While he tried to maintain the Foundation Establishment Realm, his nature essence was gradually running out.

If he couldn’t find a way to recover his realm, his body would age quickly, and he would die in weeks. That was why he had locked himself in the secret chamber in the back mountain, ready to welcome the end of his life alone.

“This is a bottle of Bone Strengthening Powder made with the bone powder of level 8 demon beasts. Please take it to Senior Brother Mo so that he can recover to the Core Formation Realm.”

Duan Yao took out another grey bottle and handed it to the cultivator who accepted the pills for Lingwu Master.

The expressions of these cultivators of Sky Mountain Sect changed slightly when they heard the words, level 8 demon beast.

There was no trace of level 8 demon beasts even on Seventh Heaven, and the remains of a level 8 demon beast were more precious than a spirit stone mine!

They had never heard of the Bone Strengthening Powder but knew that the effects of the elixir must be extraordinary since it was made with the bone powder of level 8 demon beasts!

Their glances shifted from Duan Yao to Hao Ren, thinking that the Herb King Master was so powerful that he could produce miraculous elixirs even unknown to Sky Mountain Sect which excelled in elixir-making.

“Also, the fact that the Herb King Master gave this elixir to Duan Yao means that she is a favorite of the Herb King Master, which isn’t surprising since Duan Yao is so vivacious and lovely,” a lot of cultivators thought to themselves.

Seeing their glances, Hao Ren knew that they thought the elixirs came from him.

While shaking his head, he didn’t explain.

Everyone had a different point of view. When Sky Mountain Sect surrounded Ethereal Summit, it was natural that Hao Ren fought back with all his strength and destroyed more than half of the structures of Sky Mountain Sect.

However, for Duan Yao, Sky Mountain Sect was her home where she grew up. There were her senior brothers and sisters and memories. After the battle at Ethereal Summit, Sky Mountain Sect had declined quickly, which was why she hated Hao Ren.

“Dad, Mom, here is a bottle of Pregnancy Pills which can solidify your foundations. I hope you can give birth to a little brother who will be better-behaved than me.”

Duan Yao took out a red bottle and tossed it to her father, Duan Ye.

Standing on a silver flying sword, Sect Master Duan Ye caught the bottle, opened the wood cap, and smelled the scent of the dozens of pills in the bottle.

It was a very intense aroma of elixirs!

Sky Mountain Sect excelled in elixir-making, and Duan Ye had seen all kinds of elixirs. He had heard of the Pregnancy Pills before, and they were elixir pills that the ancient cultivators took to conceive offsprings without damaging their realms.

After all, it was against the law of nature to cultivate, and it was a rare fortune for cultivators to have kids. That was why the cultivators experienced more danger than mortals when they tried to have children.

By taking the Pregnancy Pills, the cultivators could lower the risks in the process of having children. However, this elixir pill was made with the internal core of level 6 demon beasts that were nowhere to be found in the current cultivation world.

That was why this elixir pill couldn’t be made, and the male cultivators must get more concubines if they wanted to have one or two children.

By giving her parents the Pregnancy Pills, Duan Yao was gifting them two to three children!

“I guess you won’t miss me after you have more children,” Duan Yao thought as she clenched her fists and stood beside Hao Ren.

Duan Yao’s mother looked lost, feeling like Duan Yao wouldn’t come back anymore.

However, Duan Ye looked more pleased than sad since he could have sons with these Pregnancy Pills!

Among the dozens of Core Formation Realm cultivators, Ye Yan’s expression was the darkest.

Mo Lianshan’s reputation and strength were better than his before the battle with Ethereal Summit, and Duan Yao’s Bone Strengthening Power could help Mo Lianshan re-cultivate and probably get more powerful than before, which meant that he would lose his chance at becoming the next sect master!

Also, if Duan Ye had sons, it would be more difficult for him to become the sect master.

After putting the bottle of elixir pills into his sleeve carefully, Duan Ye looked at Duan Yao in the high sky and said after a moment of consideration, “Yao, there are still five elders who haven’t recovered their realms. Now that you are serving the Herb King Master, can you…”

Before he could finish, Duan Yao knew what he wanted, and her face turned from pink to pale quickly.

She would never forget that her father had sent her to Ethereal Summit like an object without hesitation!

“Dad, we have no ties anymore after I went to Ethereal Summit!” Duan Yao suddenly released her aura as a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, and the buildings that were in construction on the hillside collapsed under her anger.

“I, Duan Yao, don’t owe you anything anymore!” Duan Yao’s tears slid down her face as she stomped.

“From now on, there is no Duan Yao in Sky Mountain Sect! You have no daughter named Duan Yao, and Sky Mountain Sect has no disciple named Duan Yao!”

Duan Yao said the words while biting hard on her lips.

Then, she punched hard on Hao Ren’s chest.

Feeling suffocated for a moment, Hao Ren suddenly understood the situation and moved the golden boat away.

“Yao…” Duan Yao’s mother called out in a sad voice.

Duan Yao held back her tears and didn’t look back.

Then, she jumped off Hao Ren’s golden boat and flew toward the low sky.

From now on, she would have nothing to do with Sky Mountain Sect, and she solely belonged to the Demon Sea!
