The Soul Collecting Technique was unique to the demon cultivators, and it could only be used by top-tier Nascent Soul Realm. Duan Yao used her pure fire physique to collect the broken pieces from the Kunlun Magic lamp, so Lady Zhen decided to teach her the technique.

When this technique reached a high level, she would be able to suck away the souls of many men as they wouldn’t be able to resist her charm.

Duan Yao just showed her technique and scared Xu Ke away with little effort.

Hao Ren watched Xu Ke as she walked away before looking back at the green aura around Duan Yao, feeling like she wasn’t easy to deal with.

“He has a soul physique,” Duan Yao said casually.

“What is the soul physique?” Hao Ren asked instantly.

However, Duan Yao didn’t respond and only focused on her food. The ingredients for mortal’s food were average, but at least they tasted good.

Zhao Yanzi stared at Duan Yao as she hated her for being so mysterious.

After lunch ended, Zhao Yanzi held Hao Ren’s arm and started to walk around the campus since she wasn’t wearing her uniform. Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters left them alone so that they could have their alone time, but Duan Yao followed Hao Ren closely, which pissed off Zhao Yanzi so much.

The students in East Ocean university all knew Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren. Some said that she was Hao Ren’s fiancée while some said that she was his cousin. There were various assumptions about Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi, but no one knew Duan Yao.

With Duan Yao walking beside Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi, she made them look like cousins. Zhao Yanzi couldn’t feel any intimacy; how could she not be mad?

“It turns out that Hao Ren has two cousins; they both look cute,” two students discussed quietly as they walked by.

Zhao Yanzi felt so wronged. She was already ‘taken advantage’ of by Hao Ren; how could she be his cousin?

Since the lunch break was almost over, Zhao Yanzi held Hao Ren’s hand and walked toward LingZhao Middle school slowly.

She used to not care about Hao Ren at all, but now it made her feel lost when she wasn’t around him.

Duan Yao just followed Hao Ren casually, looking at the various students and the hidden dragon cultivators.

If she wanted to, her cultivation level allowed her to collect all the souls of the mortals on the campus, and even all the young dragon cultivators wouldn’t be her opponent.

However, Duan Yao didn’t plan to do that since she enjoyed such a peaceful and sweet life.

“I am a demon, but I never intend to bring disaster to the world,” she thought.

When Hao Ren walked Zhao Yanzi back to her school, Little Ling was back as well with her boyfriend.

“Hey, Uncle!”

Little Ling started to laugh as soon as she saw Hao Ren.

Zhao Yanzi was upset the last few days, and she locked herself in the dorm. Little Ling thought that Zhao Yanzi broke up with Hao Ren, and she didn’t know how to comfort her.

Now seeing Hao Ren walking Zhao Yanzi to school, Xiao Ling was sure that they were back together. As Zhao Yanzi’s best friend, she finally felt relieved.

Zhao Yanzi leaned close to Hao Ren, looking like she was in love as she was glowing all over.

Little Ling didn’t know how far their relationship went, but she guessed that it had to be very deep. Zhao Yanzi was so lively and pretty, and she treated relationships very seriously unlike other girls.

Ling really thought that ‘Uncle’ was a lucky guy.

Also, she could tell that Zhao Yanzi’s family was disciplined, so anything that crossed the line would never happen.

“However, if they bring their relationship to the next level, that would happen eventually!” Little Ling thought as she looked the handsome ‘Uncle’ up and down.

As for the pretty Duan Yao next to Hao Ren, Little Ling just ignored her from the beginning.

“Zhao Yanzi is the most beautiful girl; no one could ever compete!” she thought.

“I’m going in now, Uncle,” Zhao Yanzi was used to calling Hao Ren ‘Uncle’ in front of Little Ling. Then, she waved at Hao Ren and walked in with Little Ling.

Hao Ren’s heart melted as he looked at her charming figure as she went into the school.

Duan Yao stared at the campus behind the door, and her eyes revealed that she looked forward to the campus life.

She didn’t know what campus life was like, but she could still feel the youthful energy coming out of it.

Hao Ren got back to East Ocean University. The morning classes were all done, so he went to the library to kill some time since no progress had been made without the mystic crystal.

Duan Yao followed Hao Ren and got in the library easily with the student card that Hao Ren borrowed. Then, she went to the reading room with Hao Ren and sat down beside him.

The sun was bright, and Hao Ren could see through the windows. Some girls were waiting for Little White, the cutest monster in East Ocean University, with hot dogs in their hands.

Unfortunately, Little White was with Hao Zhonghua right now and wouldn’t show up at the university.

Sitting next to Hao Ren, Duan Yao read a book that had plenty of pictures on it.

The way she read was backward, which was how to read ancient books.

Hao Ren didn’t correct her since she wouldn’t be able to understand the content either way.

Time passed by slowly, and Xie Yujia sent a text message saying that she was going swimming with the Lu sisters.

Life seemed to be so peaceful and comfortable.

Su Han hadn’t come back to the university yet; she was probably preparing for the charge at the Heavenly Dragon Realm.

Beep!

Hao Ren’s phone on the desk started to vibrate.

Hao Ren picked it up immediately.

“Uncle, we are done school for the day!” Zhao Yanzi yelled from the other side of the phone.

There were two mock exams for the Grade Nine students in LingZhao Middle school, and Zhao Yanzi did surprisingly well. Thus, she was in such a fantastic mood; it seemed like she had her mind straightened out with Hao Ren’s tutoring.

“Coming, coming!” Hao Ren hung up the phone, put the book back on the shelf, and went out to take the escalator.

When he turned around slightly, he noticed that Duan Yao was still following him.

“Can you… go for dinner with Yujia?” Hao Ren asked her as he went down.

“No!” Duan Yao refused immediately.

“Well…” Hao Ren didn’t know how to respond.

He didn’t talk to her more than ten times today, but Duan Yao insisted on following him everywhere.

Since he promised Lady Zhen that he would take care of Duan Yao, and it wasn’t easy to get rid of a top-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, Hao Ren surrendered and let her follow him.

Besides, no one could tell what would happen if Duan Yao, a quite extreme girl, got mad.

Top-tier Nascent Soul Realm… even a Core Formation realm cultivator could destroy half of the city.

Hao Ren walked to the main entrance of the campus, and so did Duan Yao.

Zhao Yanzi was standing on her tiptoes waiting for Hao Ren at the main entrance, and her face turned dark as soon as she saw Duan Yao.

She was wearing the cotton stockings which highlighted her beautiful legs, and she tied her hair up into two pigtails. She looked so attractive that all the guys who walked out of the university couldn’t help but look at her.

“She is coming with us?!” Zhao Yanzi asked with hostility while pointing at Duan Yao.

Duan Yao nodded and answered for Hao Ren.

Zhao Yanzi was so mad that she almost bit her lips off. Her mom had prepared a big meal, but it was all for Hao Ren instead of Duan Yao!

Duan Yao didn’t care about how mad Zhao Yanzi was. She saw the cab that Zhao Yanzi got beside her, so she got in immediately.

“Ahhhhh…” Zhao Yanzi screamed angrily but had to get in the cab as well.

Hao Ren shook his head, not expecting Duan Yao to be so dominant. Then, he also jumped in.

Soon, the cab arrived at Zhao Yanzi’s home, and the smell of food had already reached them.

Zhao Hongyu walked to the door to welcome them but didn’t expect that except for Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi, Lady Zhen’s disciple, Duan Yao, also got out of the cab.

Following Hao Ren, Duan Yao went in Zhao Yanzi’s home silently and then sat down on a couch without any noise.

“Mom, I didn’t invite her!” Zhao Yanzi complained to Zhao Hongyu while pointing at Duan Yao.

“You are always so mean!” Zhao Hongyu poked Zhao Yanzi on her forehead and then said to Duan Yao with a smile, “You are Duan Yao, right? Dinner will be ready soon.”

Duan Yao nodded.

Zhao Yanzi rolled her eyes and thought, “How come… why so nice to Duan Yao!”

She didn’t know that ever since Lady Zhen made the deal with Zhao Guang and moved the high-level demon beasts away from the border between the Demon Sea and the East Ocean Dragon Clan, a lot of East Ocean’s pressure had been alleviated, and the soldiers could have more time to rest and train.

With the massive border issue solved, the East Ocean Dragon Clan was able to handle South Ocean and North Ocean firmly!

Lady Zhen would soon become the master of all demon beasts in the Demon Sea. As Lady Zhen’s only disciple, Duan Yao’s status wouldn’t be inferior to Zhao Yanzi’s.

If the Demon Sea ever got chaotic, as the main force of defending the Demon Sea, the East Ocean Dragon Clan wouldn’t stand aloof!

“Ren, how did things go in the Nine Dragon Palace?” Zhao Guang asked.

“Um, a huge breakthrough had been made,” Hao Ren answered.

He hadn’t met Zhao Guang ever since he left for the Nine Dragon Palace. Since his father-in-law raised this question, Hao Ren explained everything that happened in Nine Dragon Palace and the Dragon God Shrine in detail.

Zhao Guang listened carefully with his eyebrows twisted. What Hao Ren had experienced was almost more than he had. For example, the Nine Dragon Palace, the Demon Sea, and the Dragon God Shrine were all palaces that he wasn’t familiar with at all.

However, Hao Ren handled everything in those places with great ease. Now that he had left the Dragon God Shrine and was back to the East Ocean Dragon Clan, Zhao Guang was greatly pleased.

“Brother, I’m late!”

As Hao Ren and Zhao Guang were talking about all the details, Zhao Kuo rushed in and almost destroyed the door.

“You are still so reckless!” Zhao Guang glared at Zhao Kuo. Although his realm was inferior to Zhao Kuo’s, he still had the stateliness as an older brother.

“I had broken through to peak Qian-level; it is hard to control my strength,” Zhao Kuo chuckled. He went up to his seat while rubbing his hands when he saw that the table was full of steamy, delicious dishes.

“Go wash your hands.” While holding a plate of double cooked pork, Zhao Hongyu straightened her face and said to him seriously.

Zhao Kuo gave her a shy smile and went to wash his hands.

Zhao Guang brought Hao Ren to the dinner table, and Duan Yao who was watching cartoons on TV suddenly stood up and followed Hao Ren.

The smell of the food was way better than what they had in the cafeteria for lunch.

Seeing Duan Yao sitting down beside Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi was extremely annoyed, but there was nothing that she could do. Therefore, she sat down on the other side of Hao Ren sweetly.

Zhao Hongyu poured the drinks and liquor, trying to make this into a celebration for Hao Ren. She was sure that she made the right decision since Hao Ren was definitely the best candidate for their son-in-law.

Zhao Kuo shook his wet hands and got out of the kitchen. When he sat down, he yelled at Hao Ren, “Well, Hao Ren! It’s time for you and Zi to consummate your love!”

“Puff…”

Zhao Yanzi who had just taken a sip of her drink spat it out immediately.
