"Gongzi, go back and change your clothes," the Lu sisters stood beside Hao Ren and said in a low voice.
"Ugh?" Hao Ren looked down at himself and saw only a black robe covering his body. Under the cold wind, his muscles were exposed.
"Ahem!" Hao Ren coughed twice to block the Lu sisters' gazes. Then, he tightened the belt of his robe and flew toward the house by the sea.
Duan Yao stood on the beach in a daze. Hao Ren picked her up and carried her into the air like a little chick before returning to the small garden of the house.
Due to the surging sea water, the flowers and plants in the garden were washed away, and the living room on the first floor was flooded with seawater as well.
"Grandma! Grandma! "Hao Ren yelled when he returned to the house.
Right now, he wasn't worried about anything else. He was just worried that the scene just now might have scared his grandmother. After all, his grandma was very old and couldn't take a scare.
Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi were relieved when they saw that Hao Ren was unharmed. They followed Hao Ren back to the house immediately.
"Ren … Ren …" Grandma walked down the stairs while touching the handrail.
When the sea suddenly calmed down, Grandma rushed to Hao Ren's room and found that the windows were broken, and the room was empty. She was very nervous.
She was excited to see a dragon, but she didn't know where her grandson was …
"Grandma, I'm here!" Hao Ren stepped on the puddles in the living room and ran to the stairs.
The house was filled with seawater as if it was flooded. Due to a short circuit, all the lights couldn't be turned on, and the house was pitch-black.
Under the moonlight, Grandma touched Hao Ren's face and exhaled deeply. Then, she asked in a hurry, "Little Zi, Little Yujia, are they okay?"
"They are all here! They are all here! "Standing behind Hao Ren, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi answered at the same time.
"Where's Congming?" Grandma asked.
Xie Yujia froze for a moment before hurrying to Zhen Congming's room. Zhen Congming was still sleeping soundly on the bed with his limbs facing the sky!
"Congming is fine!" Xie Yujia closed the door and answered.
She didn't know that the night of the full moon was the best time for demon beasts to advance and break through. It was also the time when demon beasts were the weakest and should cultivate in seclusion. Even Qiu Niu, one of the dragon ancestors, couldn't avoid this rule. Every 1,000 years, Qiu Niu's realm would drop sharply around the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to Lady Zhen's calculations, it should be on the 25th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.
"That's good …" Grandma patted her chest and said, "Yao is with you, right? Is she okay? Where's Linlin and Lili? "
In fact, everyone was in the house, but the light was dim, so Grandma couldn't see them clearly, so she asked them one by one.
"I'm here! Yes! "Lu Linlin and Lu Lili waved and answered.
Duan Yao, who was standing behind the Lu sisters, gritted her teeth and answered reluctantly. "Yes!"
"Ah … We are all fine …" Grandma pulled on Hao Ren's arm. "Ren, guess what I just saw!"
She was a bit worried when Hao Ren wasn't in the room. Now that she saw Hao Ren, she thought that he had rushed downstairs to save the girls. That was why she didn't know that the White Dragon was transformed from Hao Ren.
"What did you see?" Hao Ren asked her.
"Dragons!" Grandma said in excitement, "This is the second time I've seen dragons! One little White Dragon and three bad dragons, and they fought fiercely! "
Hao Ren looked at Grandma helplessly and found that she wasn't scared at all. Instead, she was as excited as a child. In comparison, Grandma didn't feel bad when the house was flooded and the electrical appliances were damaged.
"Ren, did you see dragons?" Hao Zhonghua followed him down the stairs and asked Hao Ren.
"I …" Hao Ren hesitated for half a second. "I thought it was an earthquake, and the water rushed in. I came downstairs to check on Yujia and the others, but I didn't see any dragons."
Standing behind Hao Ren, Duan Yao curled her lips. She knew Hao Ren's identity, but she didn't want to expose him.
"You didn't see anything either …" Hao Zhonghua was a bit disappointed. "Your mom said that she didn't see anything either. Are you saying that only your grandma and I saw it?"
He was a bit frustrated. He clearly saw a group of dragons fighting in the sky, but Yue Yang said that she didn't see anything. She only saw wind and clouds gathering in the direction of the ocean, and there was an aftershock. The waves surged, but fortunately, it didn't form a tsunami.
"Don't mind her. Only the fated ones can see it!" Grandma said angrily.
Yue Yang was a firm believer in mysticism. If she didn't see it with her own eyes, she wouldn't infer the so-called truth from other people's hearsay. That was why she insisted that Grandma and Hao Zhonghua were hallucinating or that it was some kind of effect caused by the refraction of the ocean under the bright moonlight.
This made Grandma so mad that she called Yue Yang a 'stubborn old woman'. Grandma's attitude made Yue Yang speechless. She believed the truth and didn't call Grandma a stubborn old woman. Instead, Grandma called her a stubborn old woman …
The three of them argued for a while in the room, and Hao Ren was allowed to return to the house. Grandma wanted to prove that what she said was true, Hao Zhonghua wanted to confirm the truth, and Yue Yang was a bit angry that Hao Zhonghua didn't use scientific methods.
Hearing Grandma's words, Hao Ren was a bit confused. "Dad and Grandma can see dragons, but why can't Mom? Is it really like what Grandma said? Only the fated ones can see dragons …"
Hao Zhonghua was depressed and didn't know what to say. He hadn't made much progress in his dragon-hunting plan, and the clues he collected were all unreliable. This time, he finally saw a flying dragon with his own eyes, but Yue Yang didn't want to admit it.
If Grandma said that dragons could only be seen by the fated ones, then his research project was no different from a swindler …
"I think we saw it too, but we didn't see it clearly," the Lu sisters said when they saw Hao Zhonghua's depressed face.
Hao Zhonghua nodded, and his excitement turned into disappointment. It seemed that if he couldn't catch a live dragon or a real dragon specimen, it wouldn't be convincing. Even photos and videos could be regarded as fabricated.
However, it was extremely difficult to catch a dragon! Being able to see it was already a fortuitous encounter, not to mention catching it!
Moreover, it was impossible to catch a dragon with his strength!
At this thought, Hao Zhonghua's expression turned completely depressed. "It's probably an illusion. Don't think too much and have a good rest."
"Zhonghua, it's a blessing to see a real dragon. Cheer up!" Grandma patted Hao Zhonghua's back.
Grandma would never think of catching a dragon, thinking that it was a curse from the heavens!
"Little Yao, go to my room and have a rest. Linlin, Lili, Zi, Yujia, help me drain the water, "Hao Ren said.
The water in the living room was up to their ankles. If they couldn't drain the water in time, the sofa and fridge that were soaked in it would be ruined.
If Hao Ren treated them as outsiders, he wouldn't order them around. However, he treated them as his family, so he asked for their help without hesitation.
Duan Yao looked at Hao Ren and remembered that she had just recovered to the Core Formation Realm and was about to consolidate her realm. Therefore, she went up the stairs to the second floor and entered Hao Ren's room.
"I'll help too!" Hao Zhonghua rolled up the legs of his pajama pants and stepped into the water in the living room.
Yue Yang heard their conversation on the stairs and walked down. She took off her slippers and picked up a big basin.
When Hao Zhonghua told her that he saw hundreds of dragons, she thought it was a fantasy and argued with him. However, as a mother, she couldn't sit back and do nothing when it came to draining the water in the house.
Seeing that Yue Yang offered to help, Hao Zhonghua looked at her cold face and thought that it was wrong of him to argue with her until his face turned red. He walked over with a smile and put a coat on her.
"Humph!" Yue Yang's face was still a little angry. She patted Hao Zhonghua's chest with her palm and then lowered her head to pick up various small objects floating in the water.
If Hao Zhonghua had told her that he had seen a dragon, she would have believed him. However, Hao Zhonghua had told her that he had seen a White Dragon, three Gold Dragons, and hundreds of Black Dragons. This made Yue Yang feel that he was telling a story. How could she still believe him?
Hao Zhonghua chuckled and walked closer to Yue Yang. He picked up the objects from the water and put them in the basin. When they were poor, their house was built in a low-lying area. Every time it rained, water would flood into the house, and they had to scoop out the water bit by bit like this.
Today, he felt like he was reminiscing about the bitterness. Thinking of all the hardships Yue Yang had gone through with him, Hao Zhonghua felt guilty and let go of his desire to argue.
Seeing Hao Zhonghua giving in, Yue Yang's stiff face loosened a bit. After all these years, she knew that Hao Zhonghua was tough on the inside and soft on the outside. As long as he set his mind on something, even ten bulls couldn't pull him back. She would support him as long as he was willing to carry out the dragon-seeking plan that was ridiculed by the outside world!
The moonlight shone on the puddles in the house, making it look like they were stepping in a small river. It was a bit romantic.
Xie Yujia saw the affection in Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang's eyes, and she was a bit envious.
She only envied couples, not immortals. Of course, it was good for Hao Ren to become stronger. However, if Hao Ren didn't have any cultivation strength, she would be willing to live a peaceful life.
"Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff …" Little White passed through Xie Yujia's feet and used the puddle in the living room as a swimming pool. It ran around the sofa for a while and then walked around the kitchen …
"Damn dog!" Hao Ren smacked Little White's head hard when it swam over.
Hao Zhonghua opened the front door and the back door, and some of the water was drained out. Zhao Yanzi and the Lu sisters scooped up the water in a small basin, and Yue Yang passed it to Hao Ren so that he could pour it out the door.
Xie Yujia bent over and wiped the floor as dry as she could with a rag. This was physical work, and she was sweating profusely. However, she didn't complain at all.
"So nice …" Hao Zhonghua sighed when he saw the girls working together with Hao Ren in the living room.
Zhao Yanzi was a little weak, but she was also very hardworking and would definitely be a good wife in the future. Xie Yujia, on the other hand, was good at all chores and wasn't afraid of hardships or tiredness. Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were always by Hao Ren's side and rushed to do everything.
When the old house was flooded, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang had to move the expensive things to higher places with Hao Ren, who was only a few years old, and they had to pour out the water that kept pouring in.
But now, the house that was suddenly soaked by seawater was almost cleaned in the middle of the night in just over half an hour.
It was lively. The originally cold and cheerless family was now bustling with activity.
Hao Zhonghua suddenly understood Grandma's mood.
"Zhonghua, what is this?" Yue Yang nudged Hao Zhonghua suddenly.
She was holding a palm-sized golden disc in her hand, and she looked a little puzzled. When the seawater suddenly rushed in, the decorative cabinets in the living room were washed away, and many handicrafts fell down. However, she didn't remember buying this thing, so she asked Hao Zhonghua where she should put it.
"This …" Hao Zhonghua looked at the disc in Yue Yang's hand in confusion. He picked it up and looked at it through the window.
In the dim moonlight, the golden disc reflected a pale golden halo. It looked like a seashell, but it was very flat.
Hum!
A thought flashed in Hao Zhonghua's mind.
"Dragon scale! Is this a dragon scale? "
Hao Zhonghua put the golden disc into the pocket of his pajamas when he saw them still working hard in the kitchen. "Oh, it's a little thing. I bought it on the roadside when I sent Congming to school."
Yue Yang didn't ask further since he said it casually. Instead, she continued to organize the other things.
Hao Zhonghua was a bit nervous. He wasn't sure if this thing had anything to do with dragons, but he was sure that it didn't belong to the house. It must have been washed in with the seawater.
As a biologist, he had a thorough understanding of marine life. Therefore, when he saw the golden disc, he felt that it had something to do with marine life.
Yue Yang didn't believe in the existence of dragons, and she only supported his research project. Hao Zhonghua didn't care about fighting with others, but he wanted to fight with his wife.
"Yue Yang, Yue Yang, I'll see your face when I prove that dragons exist!"
"Ok, it's getting late. We'll organize the rest tomorrow, "Hao Zhonghua said.
All the water in the house had been drained, but the electricity hadn't been restored yet. They would have to ask the property management to fix it tomorrow. As for the wet things, they would have to take them out to dry tomorrow.
Hao Ren and the rest of them put the soaked porcelain bowls in the cupboard on the counter. Indeed, they were a little tired. Due to the seawater, the leftovers from Duan Yao's food near the fridge had been washed out along with the garbage. Therefore, no one could imagine that Duan Yao had been eating and drinking in the kitchen.
Grandma had gone back to her room to sleep, and so did Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang. Her room on the first floor was flooded, so they couldn't sleep there. Therefore, they followed Hao Ren to the second floor.
In Hao Ren's room on the second floor, Duan Yao had fallen asleep with the quilt wrapped around her.
She was startled by the fierce metal-elemental dragon cultivator, and her Core Formation Realm had been restored. She was exhausted and fell asleep after cultivating for a while.
After swimming in the living room for half an hour, Little White shook its wet fur and followed them into Hao Ren's room.
Hao Ren grabbed it by the neck and threw it out of the room. When he closed the door, he found that all the people in the room were girls except for him …
