Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle …
When the taxi got close to the highway by the sea, the rain suddenly flowed down the black coastline.
Zhao Yanzi, who was looking out of the window, was startled and shrunk toward Hao Ren who was sitting in the back seat.
Pa, pa, pa …
The rain hit the roof of the taxi and made a series of noises.
The hot and stuffy temperature suddenly cooled down along with the torrential rain.
If the sunny weather in the past few days was the calm before the storm, the sunny weather was suddenly broken on this night.
While the storm raged on the surface of the sea, the undercurrents were surging under the sea.
Oldman Zeng of West Ocean led 100,000 soldiers toward the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
Zhao Haoran's appearance made both the South Ocean Dragon Clan and the North Ocean Dragon Clan retreat, and Oldman Zeng wanted to retreat as well.
However, Zeng Yitao was detained in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, and Oldman Zeng had no other choice.
Zhao Haoran's move showed that he wanted to start a war with the West Ocean Dragon Palace.
Zeng Yitao used to be a cultivation genius of the West Ocean Dragon Palace. Due to the attack of a grandmaster, his dragon core was destroyed, and he couldn't cultivate anymore. However, this didn't stop him from becoming the future heir of West Ocean.
Zhao Guang's realm wasn't high, but he could still control the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Strength wasn't the key to a person's identity.
The Dragon Tribe had a long lifespan, and they usually didn't have too many children to avoid conflicts in the future. Zhao Haoran only had three sons in his 1,000 years of life.
Oldman Zeng only had one son, and he died in an accident a few years ago. Therefore, his only direct heir was Zeng Yitao.
In the West Ocean Dragon Palace, people called Zeng Xin the Old Dragon King and Zeng Yitao the Crown Prince, but there was no official Dragon King. This was because Zeng Xin was waiting for Zeng Yitao to become an adult before he could make him the Dragon King!
Now that Zeng Yitao was captured, the lifeline of the West Ocean Dragon Palace was in the hands of the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Zeng Xin was a decisive person, so he made a decision immediately.
The 100,000 soldiers set off from the West Ocean Dragon Palace toward the East Ocean Dragon Palace. Along the way, many small forces under the sea made way for them!
On the coast, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi took a taxi to Hao Ren's house by the sea.
Hao Ren paid the taxi fare and rushed into the house with Zhao Yanzi.
It was only a few steps from the door to the house, but it would take a few seconds for Hao Ren to get the key and open the door. In those few seconds, they were soaked by the downpour!
"It's freezing! It's freezing! " Zhao Yanzi didn't expect that it would suddenly rain today, so she didn't wear a lot of clothes to attend the party.
Pa. Hao Ren finally opened the door.
Zhao Yanzi rushed into the house angrily and wet. Like a little skylark hiding in a nest, she shook her feathers and stomped her feet.
"Zi is here?" Grandma's kind voice came from the living room.
Hao Ren looked in the direction of Grandma's voice and saw Grandma lying on the couch leisurely. Xie Yujia, who was wearing a blue polka dot dress, was carefully trimming Grandma's nails with a pair of nail clippers.
"Grandma, it's all the bad uncle's fault. I'm all wet!" Zhao Yanzi complained as soon as she saw Grandma.
"Hehe …" Grandma couldn't help but laugh when she saw Zhao Yanzi's pretty face. She asked Xie Yujia, "Xiao Jia, do you have any clean clothes for Zi?"
"Yes, Grandma." Xie Yujia put the nail clippers on the coffee table and wrapped the nails carefully with a tissue. Then, she walked into her room and took out a set of clean pajamas.
"Humph, humph …" Zhao Yanzi was angry, but her anger seemed weak.
She didn't want to wear Xie Yujia's clothes, but she felt more uncomfortable without Xie Yujia's clothes.
"I'll change in my room," Xie Yujia said to Zhao Yanzi.
"Humph, humph …" Zhao Yanzi breathed through her nostrils as if that was all she could make.
Xie Yujia didn't mind. She smiled and walked to the couch to continue trimming Grandma's nails.
"We're going on a field trip tomorrow, right? So, Zi is staying at our house today?" Grandma asked Hao Ren.
"Yes, Grandma, but I don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow," Hao Ren said.
"It will be good tomorrow," Grandma comforted him.
Pa …
The door to Xie Yujia's room suddenly opened, and Zhao Yanzi walked out in Xie Yujia's pajamas.
Zhao Yanzi was a size smaller than Xie Yujia, and she was shorter as well. Zhao Yanzi was dissatisfied with her clothes, and it was obvious that she was a bit shorter.
Especially when Xie Yujia was wearing her own pajamas, her breasts were bulging, and Zhao Yanzi was wearing pajamas of the same style and size, which made Zhao Yanzi's clothes look flat. This made Zhao Yanzi even more hostile.
"Come here, little Zi, come to Grandma!" Grandma waved at Zhao Yanzi.
No matter how good or bad Zhao Yanzi's figure was, Grandma liked her very much.
In her loose pajamas, Zhao Yanzi swayed as she walked. She jumped into Grandma's arms and covered the part of her body that was the most obvious contrast to Xie Yujia.
Grandma caressed Zhao Yanzi's hair lovingly and asked Hao Ren, "Why isn't Congming back yet?"
"Oh … He should be back with Mom and Dad. Zi and I came back early, "Hao Ren said.
Ever since Zhen Congming moved into their home, Grandma had treated Zhen Congming as her other grandson and the apple of her eye. Hao Ren even hesitated if he should mention Zhen Congming's' unrequited love 'to Grandma.
"This kid is so playful. I'll call Zhonghua later and ask them to come back early. It's so windy and stormy, and he's not afraid of delaying things, "Grandma said.
It was obvious that she missed Zhen Congming. Unlike Hao Ren, Zhen Congming came home every night. After spending so much time with Zhen Congming, Grandma shifted her attention from Hao Ren to Zhen Congming, who was more 'adorable'.
"Grandma, the nails are all trimmed," Xie Yujia put away the nail clippers carefully and said to Grandma.
"Hehehe, it's so nice!" Grandma held Zhao Yanzi in her arms and raised her hands to admire it for a few seconds.
The skin on her palms was wrinkled, but her nails were trimmed very neatly. It was obvious that Xie Yujia had done this kind of small thing perfectly.
"Grandma, it's getting late. I'm going back to rest," Xie Yujia stood up slowly and bowed slightly to Grandma.
Xie Yujia knew that her talent was not as good as Zhao Yanzi's. When she saw Zhao Yanzi's bright eyes today, she knew that Zhao Yanzi had broken through again, and she had a stronger sense of crisis.
"You're going to bed so early?" Grandma held Xie Yujia's soft hand and was reluctant to let her go.
Today, Xie Yujia cooked for her, watched TV with her, and chatted with her. That was why Grandma didn't feel lonely when Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi weren't home. Now that Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were home, Xie Yujia immediately hid in her room, which made Grandma feel sorry for her.
"I still have some homework to do," Xie Yujia answered.
"Ok, ok. It's getting late. Let's all go to bed," Grandma stood up from the sofa and yelled as she dusted off her clothes.
Xie Yujia went to her room to rest. Grandma couldn't only spoil Zhao Yanzi, and she had to be fair. Therefore, she told them all to go to bed.
"Zi, you can sleep with Yujia. I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I need to sleep alone," Grandma continued.
"I …" Zhao Yanzi was very reluctant to share a room with Xie Yujia, but she couldn't say no in front of Grandma.
"Hehehe …" Grandma laughed as she walked up the stairs to her room.
"I'll sleep with you …" Seeing Grandma entering her room, Zhao Yanzi immediately turned her head and said to Hao Ren.
"Ah …" Hao Ren looked at her with a strange expression.
"One room!" Zhao Yanzi added immediately.
Xie Yujia shook her head with a smile and went into her room. It was raining heavily today, and it didn't seem safe to go to Fifth Heaven.
Heavenly lightning was the most dangerous thing to cultivators, even if it was an ordinary thunderstorm.
Seeing Xie Yujia enter her room, Hao Ren hesitated for a few seconds before walking to the stairs. Zhao Yanzi followed Hao Ren up the stairs step by step.
"I'll give you my room, and I'll sleep on the sofa," Hao Ren asked Zhao Yanzi when they reached the second floor.
"No!" Zhao Yanzi refused immediately.
"Why?" Hao Ren asked.
Zhao Yanzi pouted and didn't answer. Hao Ren's house was bigger than theirs, and the room was bigger as well. She didn't feel safe sleeping alone in such a heavy storm.
However, she wouldn't tell Hao Ren this reason.
Hao Ren sighed helplessly and opened the door. Zhao Yanzi immediately walked in and opened the window.
The boundless black sea came into view. The cold air rushed in from outside, and Zhao Yanzi immediately shivered.
"Is there a war between East Ocean and West Ocean?" Zhao Yanzi closed the window immediately and asked Hao Ren.
"I'm not sure." Hao Ren walked over and pulled the curtains.
"Something must have happened since my mom asked me to stay at your place," Zhao Yanzi continued.
A hint of sadness appeared on her delicate face.
Hao Ren looked at her and realized that she wasn't completely clueless.
"Hu …" Zhao Yanzi exhaled deeply, threw off her slippers, and crawled into Hao Ren's bed.
Grandma had dried the quilt for Hao Ren during the day, and Zhao Yanzi felt warm when she crawled into it.
Hao Ren looked at her melancholy and helpless expression and suddenly felt emotional.
Rich and powerful families weren't always full of happiness. Zhao Yanzi was messing around in front of everyone because she had her own troubles.
She didn't like Zhao Haoran because she knew that he would start a war. Such an outcome would definitely put her parents in danger.
Hao Ren recalled Zhao Hongyu's attitude and gradually confirmed one thing. Zhao Hongyu's wish for Zhao Yanzi to become the daughter-in-law of the Hao Family was actually a way out. The East Ocean Dragon Palace looked grand, but it wasn't an impenetrable iron plate. The cultivation world had been peaceful for hundreds of years … Maybe one day, Zhao Yanzi could become a happy wife and escape the center of this whirlpool.
"This … is the 38th parallel!" Zhao Yanzi, who was under the quilt, cut a line on the quilt with her finger and said.
"Well …" Just when Hao Ren was about to discuss with her if they should bring out another quilt, someone knocked on the door.
Hao Ren walked over and opened the door. It was Grandma who had changed into her pajamas.
Grandma froze when she saw Zhao Yanzi lying on the bed and patting the quilt with her hand.
