Chapter 225: No Being Obstinate~~

趙焰紫..."Old man! We're here!" 趙焰紫's sudden address snapped 郝仁 out of his reverie.“Um, um...” 郝仁 coughed and pulled the bike to a stop. It seemed he still had a significant generational gap with 趙焰紫 aft...Chapter 225: No Being Obstinate~~

Han supported Zhao Yanzi and sat her on the sofa. "Let's call Su Han again."

The phone rang a few times before it was finally answered.

"What is it" Su Han’s cold voice came through from the other end of the line.

"Zi Zi fell ill, I will bring her to you." Hao Ren got straight to the point.

"Okay." Su Han gave a flat response. In her opinion, getting sick was not such a big deal.

Since he had gotten in touch with Su Han, Hao Ren helped Zhao Yanzi put on a coat and then dragged her out of the house.

They took a taxi to an upscale apartment complex in Huacheng. Accompanying Zhao Yanzi to Su Han’s front door, Hao Ren rang the bell.

Su Han came to open the door wearing gray-white floral pajamas.

Holding onto Zhao Yanzi, Hao Ren entered Su Han's warm house and immediately felt more comfortable.

"Can you give her some hot water I’ll go to a pharmacy to buy some fever medication for her." After placing Zhao Yanzi on the sofa, Hao Ren said to Su Han.

"Fever medication Why not give her two pills of Qi-nourishing Pellets" Su Han suggested and took out two light red medicinal pills from her ring.

"Will it work" Hao Ren looked at her skeptically.

"I don’t know." Su Han shook her head.

Hao Ren was speechless. After a brief pause, he said, "You just give her some water to drink."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked towards the door and asked, “Where’s a pharmacy nearby”

After asking this question, he suddenly felt it was superfluous. Indeed, seeing Su Han's confused look, Hao Ren knew she wouldn’t know such information.

Outside the house, Hao Ren looked around for a pharmacy. Since Zi Zi didn't want to go to the hospital, they could only buy her some medicine first. If she still had a high fever by midnight, he would take her to the hospital again.

It's already nighttime, and the sky is getting dark. The giant Nine Dragons Palace still floats in the air above. Hao Ren isn't very familiar with this area either; he asked a few passersby and finally found a pharmacy nearby on a certain "street."

He bought some commonly used cold medicine and fever reducers, as well as some granules to alleviate cold symptoms, and hurried back to Su Han's house.

Zhao Yanzi, usually full of energy, was now squinting her eyes and lying on the sofa with no vitality at all. Hao Ren crushed a few tablets and picked up a nearby glass of water, personally feeding Zhao Yanzi the medicine.

Su Han stood by, observing as well as learning. Although having Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi come to her house definitely disrupted her cultivation routine, she couldn't just sit idly by while Zhao Yanzi was sick.

After taking the tablets, Zhao Yanzi squinted her eyes drowsily, almost falling asleep immediately. She really didn’t know how to take care of herself; when she felt unwell during the day, she should have asked for leave and gone home.

"Do you have an empty room" Hao Ren turned around and asked Su Han.

"That's a gym and doesn't have a bed. Let Azur sleep in my room," said Su Han.

"Alright!" Hao Ren bent down, picked up Zhao Yanzi, and directly entered Su Han’s bedroom.

“I’m fine,” murmured the half-asleep Zhao Yanzi.

Her cheeks were flushed red, her dense eyelashes hanging low over her eyes, making her look both cute and pitiful.

Neither of her parents was home tonight; if she had been alone, who knew how bad her fever would have gotten. Hao Ren gently patted her forehead before placing her on Su Han's soft bed and covering her with the blanket.

Returning to the outside, he saw Su Han looking at him strangely.

"What" asked Hao Ren.

“Nothing,” Su Han smiled lightly. "You seem to care about her quite a lot."

"She's never been sick before; after this fever is over, she'll know the downsides of being ill," said Hao Ren.

Su Han, wearing gray and white flower-patterned pajamas, tilted her head as if pondering something. She had also never been sick before and could hardly imagine what that would feel like.

"If Azur hadn't lost the Dragon Pellet, she wouldn’t have become human; if you returned it to her, none of this would happen," Su Han couldn't imagine being sick and said so.

“Yes.” Hao Ren nodded. Although swallowing Zhao Yanzi's Dragon Pellet was purely accidental, taking away Azur’s Dragon Pellet essentially sucked half her life force away, making her as weak as a human. From this perspective, he had every reason to take good care of her.

Looking back at the bedroom, he saw that Zhao Yanzi was already asleep. Su Han looked at Hao Ren and asked, "How have you been considering what I told you earlier today"

"I can’t answer you for now,"郝仁 said. Actually, he went to Zhao Yanzi’s house today to seek the opinions of Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu, but unexpectedly they were not at home, and Zi Zi was sick.

"However, it looks like Jiulong Palace is right above Donghai City." After some thought,郝仁 said. Anyway, he could see it, so Su Han definitely could as well.

"With Jiulong Palace reappearing in the human world, all parties will be restless. And there’s a pattern to when Jiulong Palace appears: after each of the Four Seas’ palaces activates Jiulong Palace, it falls from the Fifth Heavens down to the First Heaven. But where exactly it ends up is uncertain; it could land on a vast grassland, or in an urban area, or above the ocean. This time, however, it appeared above Donghai City, so it looks like there’s going to be quite a stir here," Su Han said.

郝仁 furrowed his brow and guessed that what the Liu sisters wanted to tell him was related to Jiulong Palace too. With this gigantic palace hovering over Donghai City, anyone with magical power could clearly see it.

"You said you can enter Jiulong Palace" asked 郝仁.

"Yes! In fact, not just me—many high-level practitioners have great powers that allow them to temporarily break through Jiulong Palace’s defensive magic arrays and forcefully barge in. And since it appeared above Donghai City, it conveniently avoids the need for me to use a Search Official," Su Han said.

"But the key issue is that someone needs to lead us inside after we break through, right" 郝仁 continued her thought.

"Yes. The Four Seas’ palaces have direct control over Jiulong Palace and strictly keep its information confidential. Perhaps high-level officials in the Search Official system possess complete information about it, but ordinary search officials like me definitely don’t get access to a map of Jiulong Palace," Su Han stared at 郝仁 as she spoke slowly.

郝仁 thought for a moment, "I’m from Donghai. You bringing me in would mean betraying Donghai."

"If you don’t want to go, I can find someone else to accompany me, but I feel more at ease with you. Besides, do you really think that when Jiulong Palace descends to the human world, the other three seas’ palaces will remain inactive" Su Han looked at 郝仁 with her cold eyes and spoke softly.

郝仁 thought about it too and realized she was right. Even though there had been peace in the dragon cultivation realm under the watch of the Search Official system, wherever humans are, so is the江湖 (underworld); when interests clash, no one will back down.

The eight new talents from the Four Seas’ palaces were only testing the waters with their trial this time; competition wasn’t fierce between the four teams. But the real big event was Jiulong Palace’s return to the human world!

趙廣 asked郝仁 about the situation inside the palace in detail because Donghai would also assemble a powerful team to forcefully enter Jiulong Palace.

The fighting within Jiulong Palace, however, wasn’t something the Search Official system could interfere with!

"So if we’re going in, it’s just us two" asked 郝仁.

"In battle, quality trumps quantity. Liu Linlin and Liu Lili can join us too if necessary; I might even add another person for a total of five—better odds that way. What the Donghai side arranges, I’m not sure about, but I doubt they’d let you participate," Su Han’s expression turned serious from cold.

"When are we moving" asked 郝仁.

"Next week. Jiulong Palace has only two weeks above this world before it returns to the void. Next week is when its defenses will be weakest and easiest to break through," Su Han said.

Hao Ren nodded his head without saying whether he would join or not. Anyway, even if he didn’t participate, Su Han’s personality would pick other people to go with her.

The room was very quiet; even without soft music, there was a warm feeling in the air. Hao Ren quietly stood up and walked into Su Han’s bedroom, finding that Zhao Yanzi had indeed fallen asleep.

He placed his hand on her forehead and felt it wasn’t as hot as before. Hao Ren felt slightly reassured, then he covered her with the blanket she kicked off halfway and went out of the bedroom again.

Su Han was sitting in the living room, quietly watching Hao Ren do these things through the bedroom door.

If someone took care of her like this when she was sick, it wasn’t so sad anymore. She suddenly thought to herself.

"Oh right, I saw that Zeng Yitao has also transferred into Lingzhao High School today." Back in the living room, Hao Ren said to Su Han.

"I know about this matter," Su Han nodded without expressing any other opinions.

From his own analysis, Hao Ren deduced that Zeng Yitao’s transfer to Lingzhao High School in Donghai City was for two purposes: the first being an opportunity to get closer to Zhao Yanzi; the second, and perhaps more strategically important reason, is that if the West Sea Crown Prince studies here, the West Sea would have a reason to station personnel in Donghai City as part of exploratory strategic deployment.

Donghai and West Sea were not openly at odds. The West Sea Crown Prince studying in Donghai City seemed like a friendly gesture; if the Dragon Palace of Donghai interfered with his choice of school, it would appear rather domineering.

Furthermore, Zeng Yitao definitely wanted to find an opportunity to reclaim his soul-bound treasure.

Thinking about this, Hao Ren took out Zeng Yitao’s long spear from the芥子空間. Just as he pulled out the spear, Xiao Bai who was biting onto it also came out of the space.

Xiao Bai rolled on the carpet and jumped onto the sofa to hide behind Hao Ren; facing Su Han who had reached the Heaven Rank, it felt natural for him to be afraid.

The long spear wasn’t golden anymore but silver. The five coiled dragons on its shaft were baring their fangs and claws with a fierce aura.

Hao Ren infused his palm with spirit energy; wherever his hand touched, the part of the shaft turned from silver to gold. At the same time, an astonishing pressure was emanating from the long spear.

When Hao Ren increased more spirit energy into it, the long spear hummed and vibrated, turning entirely into a glaring golden hue! Especially at the spearhead, which was slightly trembling, as if ready to pierce its target at any moment.

Whoosh! Hao Ren couldn’t resist and swung the spear in the living room!
