covered Xiao Bai transforming and that the little white one had escaped, but those girls were already rushing over and surrounding Hao Ren and Xiao Bai."Wow, what a cute puppy."They pushed Hao Ren asi...Chapter 706: Nine Dragons Palace Appears!
Hao Ren and Su Han walked out of the administration building just as the sun was setting over the campus.
Su Han's expression remained calm, dressed in a white coat, black leggings, and white boots. She looked elegant, with her tight black leggings accentuating her beautiful leg line when contrasted by the white coat above and white boots below.
Some students on campus turned their heads as they saw Hao Ren and Su Han stepping out of the administration building.
Su Han in her flowing overcoat looked very graceful and cool. The black long legs under her windblown coat added a touch of charm and beauty to her appearance. Hao Ren glanced at the lake surface bathed in sunset light.
During his absence from East Sea University, there shouldn't have been too many changes.
The two walked out of the school gate where Su Han flagged down a taxi. She sat in the back seat and pulled Hao Ren along to sit beside her.
Seeing both of them sitting at the rear seats, students around the school gate had new speculations about their relationship.
The taxi driver started the engine after confirming the address but, at the moment he shifted into gear, his neck slightly stretched to take a glance at the very beautiful Su Han through the rearview mirror.
Hao Ren sat beside Su Han, maintaining a distance of several centimeters. Her white overcoat slid open on both sides, revealing her graceful purple sweater and long black legs underneath.
She gazed out the window, exposing a beautiful neck that remained silent as she pondered.
The journey was interrupted only by the radio in the taxi to avoid silence.
Hao Ren arrived at Su Han's residential area and followed her into the elevator. All along the way, Su Han didn't speak, leaving him guessing about her thoughts.
He had been to Su Han's house before; this time it felt like stepping into another world.
The kitchen was a bit messy, while other places were relatively clean. The marble floor felt cold in the weather as Su Han hung up her coat and turned on the heater.
Her purple sweater hugged her body gracefully, highlighting her well-proportioned figure. She checked the time on her silver wristwatch: "We'll depart at midnight tonight."
"Alright," Hao Ren nodded.
"Dinner is instant noodles," Su Han continued.
Hmm… Hao Ren was taken aback but could only agree.
She removed her white boots, slipped into pink slippers, and casually put on a thin silk robe to start bustling in the kitchen. Her figure looked so good in her sweater that she seemed reluctant for Hao Ren to stare at her.
Hao Ren reclined on the sofa, turned on the TV, and idly watched some programs. This might be their last bit of leisure time.
Su Han clattered around in the kitchen with pots and pans, leaving Hao Ren wondering how preparing instant noodles could make such a ruckus.
In the vast house, only they two remained, making it feel cold yet private.
Given Su Han's demeanor and upbringing, if she weren't a cultivator, she should be able to find a young industry elite earning over 500 thousand yuan per month and live a peaceful and happy life.
Hao Ren slightly turned his head to look at Su Han in the kitchen wearing pink slippers and black leggings.
Her black hair actually had hints of golden yellow, which became more noticeable under the light. Her slightly curled hair hung beside her clear cheekbones, adding a touch of tenderness.
Snap…
Su Han carried two bowls of instant noodles and walked back to the living room in slippers.
Hao Ren smelled the aroma of the instant noodles and thought Su Han's cooking had improved. On TV,相親節目 was on with female guests looking seductive and smiling warmly.
When Su Han saw Hao Ren watching the program while eating his noodles eagerly, she suddenly picked up the remote control and switched to another channel.
Hao Ren wanted to see one of the female guests' self-introductions but was abruptly interrupted by the channel change, feeling slightly frustrated.
"The rainy season is over; it's time for mating…"
Su Han switched channels and landed on a《動物世界》program with a stable voiceover introduction.
Cough!
Hao Ren nearly sprayed his noodles through his nose.
Su Han's calm expression suddenly turned red, and she乾脆拿起遙控器啪嗒一下關掉了電視機。
Since Su Han was usually not talkative to begin with, now that even the TV sound had been turned off, a true silence fell over the room.
Hao Ren made sounds as he slurped noodles, trying to break the oppressive atmosphere.
"Prepare everything you need. This time we're going there for something serious, not just an outing." Su Han said.
"Got it," Hao Ren replied, gulping down his noodle soup from the bowl.
Su Han frowned slightly, her lips pouting a bit. It seemed Hao Ren was too casual in her place, treating it as if it were his own home.
However, she did not blame Hao Ren but felt that he took things for granted. She went into the room to grab a bathrobe and headed to the bathroom.
Hao Ren continued eating noodles while listening to the sound of water from the bathroom. He belched after finishing his meal, feeling refreshed.
For Hao Ren's九龍宮 trip, which held an uncertain fate, he had wanted to have a good meal before going there; however, Su Han treated him with instant noodles instead.
Enough was enough. At least he ate his fill and could now go all out at the九龍宮.
Hao Ren collected the used noodle bowls and threw them in the trash bin. Seeing the sink piled high with dirty dishes, Hao Ren sighed deeply.
Su Han really was not good at housework. Hao Ren rolled up his sleeves, picked up dish soap, and turned on the faucet to clean all those neglected for about five days.
As he thought of whether he could come back again in the future, he put away chopsticks one by one into a cabinet before wiping down the sink.
Su Han came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. She stared at Hao Ren's housework in the kitchen, bit her lip lightly, and went to change into a purple sweater and black leggings for bed.
Hao Ren did what could be described as "househusband" work, but who would underestimate him
It was Su Han who also found herself repeatedly underestimating郝仁's potential.
Perhaps... he could even reach the Dragon Soaring realm
Su Han, stepping out of her bedroom and looking at Hao Ren still wiping in the kitchen, had a vague thought in her heart.
Swish...
Hao Ren washed the cloth, hung it on a hook above the sink, and shook his hands. He then came out from the kitchen.
Su Han stood by the bedroom door, suddenly turning away her gaze and coughing softly, "Don't bother with such trivial matters. We have two hours until we depart for the Nine Dragons Palace. Focus on training and adjusting your body."
Although she said so, seeing Hao Ren cleaning the kitchen made her feel that he seemed to be playing the role of a 'husband'. This feeling was undoubtedly a psychological impact for Su Han who had lived alone for a long time.
"Okay!", Hao Ren entered Su Han's training room and sat cross-legged.
Su Han followed in, lit an incense burner, placed the emerald green sword beside her, and closed her eyes to rest.
This time, they were going alone. The place was a restricted area even the deputy palace master of the Dragon God Temple couldn't enter without permission.
Su Han felt slightly nervous and somewhat agitated in her heart, but quickly suppressed these emotions with her cultivation method, becoming as calm as a still pond.
Hao Ren looked at Su Han's beautiful pose while she was resting with her eyes closed. He put his hands on his knees, took a deep breath, and activated the Sword Light Technique.
Just like what Su Han said, this wasn't an outing; there could be no distractions.
In the tranquil training room, time silently passed. Hao Ren was concentrating all his spirit energy into his dragon pearl when Su Han's voice broke the silence.
"Let's go!", Su Han gently pushed on the window and it opened instantly. The slender emerald green sword automatically levitated up as Su Han raised her jade foot, put on a white long boot, and flew out through the window.
Hao Ren didn't hesitate either; he jumped out of the window. In the brief moment of descent, a purple-gold hairpin appeared under his feet, leaving behind a trail of golden light as he followed Su Han.
The Nine Dragons Palace was in the Fifth Layer of Heaven, but only Su Han knew its exact location.
With mountains and water shrouded in mist, Su Han and Hao Ren left two faint traces of light, entering the Fifth Layer of Heaven.
Tink!
Su Han observed the terrain and shot a dragon-patterned nail out from her palm.
The silver-colored nail embedded itself into a mountain peak, emitting a dazzling white light.
At an incredible speed, Su Han rode on her emerald green sword, dashing towards another spot to shoot out yet another dragon-patterned nail.
In the overlapping layers of mountains, another point lit up.
This dragon-patterned nail was as long as a single palm and had extraordinary power, capable of being used as positioning treasures for setting up an array formation.
Su Han took Hao Ren around half a mountain range before shooting out another dragon-patterned nail.
This area was surrounded by five mountain ranges, all very far from郝仁's Misty Peak. 郝仁 had never been to this region before.
Su Han’s Jade Sword flew over the deep valley and faced the dark mountains. Su Han forcefully struck another Coiling Dragon Nail into one of the mountains.
After doing this several times, five white lights faintly appeared within a thousand-mile radius.
"Go!" Su Han exerted all her strength to throw out the Jade Sword; the full power of an Upper Gan-level cultivator surged forth.
The black and white light instantly caused the area in Layer Five Sky to radiate with wild, peculiar brilliance.
Su Han practiced dual golden and water-elemental techniques. When a golden-element technique reached its peak, it turned white; when a water-element technique peaked, it turned black.
Now, Su Han was approaching the peak of Gan-level!
All accumulated strength suddenly erupted!
Bang bang bang...
The deep rumbling, like thunder, reverberated through the quiet night in Layer Five Sky.
Hao Ren followed behind Su Han and watched as a dim outline appeared in the black void!
Palace of Nine Dragons!
It was indeed the Palace of Nine Dragons that Hao Ren had seen before!
It seemed like an enormous city hovering in mid-air, with a base made of soil and an upper part stretching endlessly into the distance.
Su Han unleashed all her power in one strike to make the hidden Palace of Nine Dragons in Layer Five Sky reveal itself!
Although it was only a faint outline, there was now a chance to enter!
Zhoo!
Su Han stepped onto the Jade Sword and charged towards the Palace of Nine Dragons.
The five Coiling Dragon Nails taken from the Dragon God Temple could maintain an image of the Palace of Nine Dragons for at most tens of seconds!
These Coiling Dragon Nails were treasures of the sixth deputy temple master; each nail could only be used once but possessed the power to severely injure a Gan-level peak cultivator. This deputy temple master had only eight Coiling Dragon Nails left in total.
Su Han took an enormous risk for this mission to the Palace of Nine Dragons—success meant survival, failure meant death!
Whoosh...
Hao Ren stepped onto his Purple Gold Hairpin and chased after Su Han.
The five Coiling Dragon Nails only barely allowed the Palace of Nine Dragons to be faintly revealed; in an instant, its outline dimmed as it prepared to disappear back into darkness again.
