Hao Ren woke up to the baby's cries.
He opened his eyes and saw Song Qingya standing in front of the glass door near the balcony with the baby in her arms.
The sunlight reflected off the glass door, creating a rainbow-like effect. Song Qingya, a celebrity who was known as the lover of the masses, looked very loving as she held the child in her arms.
"How old is he?" Hao Ren sat up from the sofa and asked.
"Six months." Song Qingya turned around and said, "He was only two months old when Zi saw him for the first time."
Hao Ren smiled and could sense the happiness of being a mother from Song Qingya's smile.
"Princess of South Ocean, how come you are a singer?" Hao Ren asked her.
"My realm isn't very high, and I think it's a hobby for me to be a singer in the mortal world." Song Qingya put the baby into the stroller gently so that he could enjoy the morning sunlight. Then, she looked at Hao Ren and asked, "Isn't Zi in middle school?"
"Yeah." Hao Ren nodded.
Song Qingya, who was wearing a colorful sleeveless checkered shirt, looked fresh and bright, just like her name.
"When Zi grows up, she will be much prettier than me," Song Qingya said with a smile.
"She still looks like a kid," Hao Ren said helplessly.
However, he had to admit that Zhao Yanzi would be more beautiful than Song Qingya when she grew up.
"Oh. When did you get married?" Hao Ren asked.
"Last year, East Ocean sent me a big gift," Song Qingya said.
"Hehe … Thank you for letting me and Zi stay at your house. I was playing with Zi yesterday, and we can go back to East Ocean City tonight. "
Hao Ren didn't feel nervous anymore since he sensed that this big star was different from the one on the screen. Especially when he knew that Song Qingya was the princess of South Ocean and that they were both related to the four ocean dragon palaces, he felt a sense of closeness.
"I have your secrets, and you have mine. It felt natural to keep the same secrets and trust each other."
"It's nothing. I have a good relationship with Zi's mom, and we are good friends in the real world. Zi's mom is very famous in the design industry," Song Qingya said.
Dragon cultivators, living in the circle of mortals, would have a corresponding identity. Zhao Hongyu was an architect, Song Qingya was a singer, and Zhao Guang was the CEO of Mingri Group.
This kind of identity was suitable for them to integrate into modern society, as well as for them to communicate with each other.
"Besides, our South Ocean and your East Ocean depend on each other and help each other. Maybe one day when I go to East Ocean City, I will need Zi's help," Song Qingya said with a smile.
Hao Ren nodded. That was true.
"Little Zi is very innocent. Treat her well." Song Qingya looked at Hao Ren and continued, "I've never seen her like a guy so much."
Hao Ren smiled and nodded.
Although Zhao Yanzi was naughty, many people loved her. Although Song Qingya was the princess of South Ocean, she treated Zhao Yanzi like her own little sister.
"Ok, what are you guys talking about behind my back!" Zhao Yanzi popped out from the guest room.
"What type of guys do you like?" Song Qingya covered her mouth and said with a smile.
"I … I don't like people like him!" Zhao Yanzi said immediately.
Her hasty attitude made her confess without being pressed.
"We won't disturb you anymore. Zi and I will go back now," Hao Ren looked at the time and said to Song Qingya since it was already early in the morning.
"Ok, Sister Song, we're leaving!" Zhao Yanzi didn't want to waste her time since Song Qingya had activities to attend today and must have some preparations to do.
"Okay. Come again next time," Song Qingya didn't beat around the bush and said with a smile.
"Sister Song, remember to save me some tickets in the first row for your next concert. I want to show them off in class!" Zhao Yanzi yelled.
"Ok, got it!" Song Qingya waved at her with a smile.
Her husband wasn't back yet, or else she could introduce them. According to the news from her family, the South Ocean Dragon Palace, Zi's future Fuma had risen rapidly in the last half a year. Not only did he impress the Deputy Shrine Masters of the Dragon God Shrine, but he also defeated West Ocean several times in a row. He seemed to be the future star of East Ocean. Her husband was the Yongding Dragon King in the north, and it would be beneficial if she could get to know this Fuma of East Ocean.
"Goodbye! Thank you!" The River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting appeared under Hao Ren's feet.
"Goodbye …" Song Qingya waved at him from the balcony.
Hua …
The River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting created a red energy sphere and flew toward the south like an upside-down meteor.
Hao Ren used hundun energy to activate the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, and his flying speed was even faster than Little White's.
Of course, it consumed a lot of nature essence.
The treasures in the Nine Dragon Palace were indeed extraordinary. With a dharma treasure like the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting, he could escape very fast in real danger. Hao Ren thought.
However, it was Zhao Hongyu's dharma treasure after all, and Hao Ren had no intention of taking it for himself.
Zhao Yanzi hugged Hao Ren from behind. While her thoughts wandered, Hao Ren had already taken her back to East Ocean City.
The River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting landed on the balcony of Zhao Yanzi's home, and Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu were already at home.
"Dad! Mom! "
Zhao Yanzi yelled happily. No matter what, it was still the most relaxing to be at home.
"You're back, Ren?" Zhao Hongyu walked out of the room and greeted him.
"Yes, I've brought Zi back. Auntie, I might need to use the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting for another day. Little White is in the U.S. with Yujia and hasn't come back yet, "Hao Ren said.
"It's alright, you can use it. I don't need it for the time being anyway, "Zhao Hongyu said straightforwardly.
"Then, I'll go first!" Hao Ren drove the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting and flew into the sky again.
"Hey! Hey … "Zhao Yanzi waved her hand and shouted. She still wanted to ask him to stay for dinner.
However, Hao Ren had already flown toward the surface of the sea.
With the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting and the hundun nature essence, and Zhao Yanzi wasn't standing on it, Hao Ren could truly use this flight dharma treasure to its maximum speed.
Although it couldn't reach the traveling speed of a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, it was much faster than a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. With this speed, Hao Ren could directly fly over the Demon Sea!
The demon kings hiding at the bottom of the sea sensed a surge of nature essence flying over the surface of the sea. However, when they realized that this cultivator's traveling speed was similar to that of a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, they went back to cultivating.
The big demon kings in the Demon Sea weren't weaker than Soul Formation Realm cultivators, but they didn't have to fight with Soul Formation Realm cultivators. However, if a lone Nascent Soul Realm cultivator or a dragon cultivator of the same realm tried to fly over the Demon Sea, the big demon kings would be in a bad mood and crush this cultivator who didn't know what was good for them.
Hao Ren's River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting flew over the high sky of the Demon Sea. Through the thin white clouds, he saw some of the 'overseas celestial mountains' that Zhao Hongyu had mentioned.
These islands were either archipelagos or big islands, and they were scattered on the surface of the Demon Sea. Although there were no obvious energy spheres around them, they were shrouded in layers of mist.
Since these overseas independent cultivators could live in the Demon Sea, their realms weren't low.
However, Hao Ren didn't have time to explore these overseas celestial mountains. He unleashed the hundun nature essence to the maximum, and the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting flew out of the border of the Demon Sea and entered the territory of the West Ocean Dragon Clan.
"Welcome, Commanding General!"
The soldiers of East Ocean who were stationed in this area shouted in unison when they saw Hao Ren and the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting.
"Ok!" Hao Ren responded with abundant nature essence.
The soldiers of East Ocean were stationed here, making Hao Ren feel like he had entered the territory of the East Ocean Dragon Clan.
However, this was the territory of the West Ocean Dragon Clan!
Before the soldiers of East Ocean could greet Hao Ren, the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting flew toward the West Ocean Dragon Clan at a super fast speed.
"So fast …"
The generals of East Ocean who were leading the troops were all astonished.
Even Zhao Hongyu couldn't move so fast with the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting. The traveling speed of dharma treasures depended on the quality of the dharma treasures and the strength of the users.
The more powerful the user was, the faster the traveling speed would be!
In the blink of an eye, Hao Ren and his River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting had gone beyond their field of vision.
If Hao Ren were an enemy, they wouldn't have the time to defend before Hao Ren crossed their defense line!
At this thought, the generals of the East Ocean Dragon Clan who were stationed in this area admired Hao Ren even more!
Bang!
Hao Ren dashed into the sea with his River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting.
The sharp nature essence split the seawater. In the beginning, Hao Ren had to use the Water Repellent Bead to split the seawater. Now, he only needed to lift a finger to split the seawater.
The dilapidated West Ocean Dragon Palace appeared in Hao Ren's sight.
"Welcome, Commanding General!" In silver armor, Liu Yi led thousands of black-armored soldiers around him and greeted Hao Ren with cupped hands.
Hao Ren waved his hand and landed at the main gate of the West Ocean Dragon Palace before putting away the River-Mountain Qian-Kun Painting.
Once again, Hao Ren felt like he had returned to the East Ocean Dragon Palace because the gatekeeper general of the East Ocean Dragon Palace greeted him at the gate!
The soldiers of the West Ocean Dragon Palace were already rebuilding the city walls. Liu Yi's troops didn't have the obligation to help them with the construction; they were only patrolling around the dragon palace.
"Did the Commanding General of South Ocean and North Ocean go back?" Hao Ren asked Liu Yi.
He was wearing ordinary clothes, but his majesty as a Commanding General didn't diminish at all.
Now, Hao Ren's every move and word made the soldiers of East Ocean feel that he was very prestigious. Hao Ren impressed them again and again, making them believe that this new Commanding General was no weaker than Zhao Kuo.
"Commanding General, the Third Prince of South Ocean and the Second Duke of North Ocean went back yesterday," Liu Yi followed Hao Ren and reported respectfully.
The gate of the West Ocean Dragon Palace had just been erected, but the plaque was still not there.
Hao Ren walked into the gate with Liu Yi, and no one dared to stop them.
"How long will the reconstruction work take?" Hao Ren looked at the mess inside the dragon palace and asked Liu Yi.
"At least three months," Liu Yi answered.
"What did they talk about yesterday?" Hao Ren asked.
"This … I'm not sure. I'll have to ask Premier Xia," Liu Yi answered immediately.
"Oh, Premier Xia is still in the West Ocean Dragon Palace?"
"Yes. He's waiting for you. He knew you would come."
"Ok …" Hao Ren nodded. "I'm going to see Zeng Yitao. Let him lead the way."
