Dragon King's Son-In-Law

Hu… After they finished, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia both exhaled deeply

Thousands of spiritual herbs swayed gently in the fields. Green, blue, red… they looked like beautiful colorful ribbons.

Hao Ren met Xie Yujia's gaze, and they both smiled with pleasure.

Xie Yujia's white hands were covered in mud, and so were Hao Ren's sleeves.

"Look at you! You have mud on your face." With a faint smile, Xie Yujia reached out to rub the mud off his face. However, her wet and muddy finger put more dirt on his face.

"Oops…" She withdrew her hand immediately and giggled at his dirty face.

At her giggles, Hao Ren touched his own wet and cold cheek and joined in on the laughter.

As two students who majored in engineering, they had planted a large stretch of field, feeling like they had returned to their middle school days when they learned about agriculture.

Growing in better environments, the spiritual herbs would flourish, and their medicinal effects would increase, making them excellent ingredients for high-level elixirs.

At this thought, Xie Yujia was satisfied with their half-day of hard work. Meanwhile, she found it quite rewarding and cheerful to work on this transformation project together with Hao Ren.

"Let's wash our hands." With a wave of his right hand, a narrow water beam came from the nearby river and entered Xie Yujia's hands.

Nodding, she washed her hands before putting a few drops of water in her palm, cleaning the muddy marks on Hao Ren's face.

Feeling her smooth palms on his cheeks, Hao Ren was moved by her caring act.

Dong… At this moment, a light blue voice transmission note rushed into the valley.

"Senior, I'm Liu Yan, the sect master of the Qin Yin Sect. One of our disciples, Ye Su, is dying, and I hope that Senior can save her!" The voice transmission note released Sect Master Liu's message.

"What's wrong?" Hao Ren asked in his resonant voice.

Another voice transmission note shot in.

"Master's disciple came to order us to collect a Three Step Lotus. My direct disciple, Ye Su, stumbled into a nearby mountain which is under the control of the White Sand Sect when searching for the herb and was hunted down by the disciples of the White Sand Sect. Luckily, she escaped from their chase and returned, but she is severely injured!"

"The White Sand Sect! Humph" Hao Ren was not a fan of this sect.

"Master, please help us!" Another voice transmission note shot in, showing Sect Master Liu's anxiety.

Hao Ren turned to look at Xie Yujia.

She nodded.

"Wait half an hour!" Hao Ren yelled.

"Thank you, Master!" Another voice transmission note shot in.

For a small sect on Fifth Heaven, the voice transmission notes which could penetrate through array formations were high-level dharma notes. Sect Master Liu must care for this disciple of hers a lot since she used several dharma notes in such a short time.

Also, she now called Hao Ren Master instead of Senior, showing that the Qin Yin Sect had regarded the Senior living in the valley as the most honorable guest of the sect.

Until now, none of the three sects near the valley knew how many people were living in the valley. They assumed that the true master was Hao Ren's Grandma who once visited the Qin Yin Sect, and they thought that she had a female disciple who acted as her companion, a boy who ran errands and give them tasks, and a male disciple who just spoke.

Xie Yujia immediately entered her cave abode and set up the elixir furnace. Then, she tossed the spiritual herbs she had just collected into the furnace.

Last time when she visited the Qin Yin Sect with Grandma, Xie Yujia had a good impression of the sect which consisted of only female cultivators. Besides, this disciple was wounded while she was collecting spiritual herbs to help increase the variety of plants in Ethereal Summit, and soft-hearted Xie Yujia wouldn't stand by and watch her die.

Little White spat out its demon fire, and the raging fire began to burn under the elixir furnace. A refreshing aroma gradually floated from the furnace.

With a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, Xie Yujia accelerated the movements of the Life-Death Notes.

Boom!

Four level 3 Essence Replenishment Pills shot out of the furnace.

With quick reflexes, Hao Ren caught the four elixir pills immediately.

"I was a little impatient and didn't control the fire well." Xie Yujia was disappointed when she saw that the pills she made were only level 3 elixirs.

"Little White, deliver the pills to them." Hao Ren put the pills into a small silk bag before hanging it around Little White's neck.

Little White, who was a more intelligent level 2 spirit beast understood his order. Immediately, it rushed out of the array formation that was surrounding the valley.

"We'll never forget this big favor you did for us, Master!" A voice transmission note traveled through the array and sounded automatically.

Obviously, level 3 Essence Replenishment Pills had far surpassed Sect Master Liu's expectation, and there were four of them!

Leisurely, Little White flew back into the valley.

After some consideration, Xie Yujia was still unsettled. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her bracelet and hung it around Little White's neck.

"These are six Beauty Pills that I made while practicing. You go and give them to that sect master!"

Since Qin Yin Sect's disciple was wounded while she was collecting herbs for Ethereal Summit, she thought it was not enough to just heal the disciple's injury. That was why she gave them a bottle of Beauty Pills as compensation.

At her order, Little White immediately flew out, but no more voice transmission notes came in. Either the sect master had left to save her disciple's life, or her voice transmission notes ran out.

"Zhen Congming is really making use of these small sects," Hao Ren said helplessly when he saw Little White flying back leisurely

"It's a good idea. Since the small sects have lots of disciples, it can save us a lot of time if they could collect spiritual herbs for us. We just have to remember to share some elixir pills with them when I make them," Xie Yujia said.

"Yeah…" Hao Ren had no objection to her suggestion. Besides, he wanted to teach a lesson to the White Sand Sect which freely hunted down and killed disciples from small sects.

He still remembered when he and Zhao Yanzi stumbled into the White Sand Sect by mistake. The elders and disciples of the White Sand Sect had tried their best to kill them.

This sect was aggressive and vicious; it had no regard for the lives of cultivators from other sects.

However, Hao Ren's top priority right now was to prepare for the exams of the Dragon God Shrine in a few days. He decided to postpone his visit to the White Sand Sect.

"Yujia, let's go!" Hao Ren said when Little White flew back to his side.

"Ok!" Xie Yujia nodded contently and sat on Little White's back.

When she glanced at Hao Ren, she saw a fierce look on Hao Ren's face; she knew that this expression meant Hao Ren wouldn't let anyone bully people who were close to him.

She had seen this look when Hao Ren was in his first conflict with Huang Xujie, and now that look got even more powerful!

However, when Hao Ren turned around to her, his gaze turned mild.

He reserved this mild and harmless side of him for his friends and family.

A sense of security suddenly rose in Xie Yujia's heart.
