After meeting Lady Zhen and Bai Ze, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia returned home.
Wagging its tail, Little White ran out of the house to welcome them.
"What's going on today? Aren't you in class?"
Seeing Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters, Grandma asked in pleasant surprise.
Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were home as well. One was organizing documents, and the other was preparing dinner. Hao Ren had been locked in the Dragon God Shrine for one day and one night.
Zhao Yanzi was reading on the sofa, and she immediately jumped out when she saw Hao Ren and the others.
She was wearing a light coffee-colored long sweater, Hao Ren's slippers, and a pair of black knee-high cotton socks that accentuated her legs.
The cotton socks extended from her heels to her thighs, looking youthful and seductive. At Zhao Yanzi's age, she didn't wear silk stockings, and she looked sexy in them.
However, her expression changed when she saw Duan Yao behind Hao Ren, and Duan Yao's long legs were bare under the black pleated skirt.
"You must be Yao. You're here to play again?" Grandma looked at Duan Yao behind Hao Ren and asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Duan Yao nodded slightly.
Seeing that Lady Zhen didn't come with them, Zhao Yanzi suspected that Duan Yao would stay here for a while, and her expression turned even uglier.
When she saw that Duan Yao emitted the aura equivalent to top-tier Nascent Soul Realm, she was burning with jealousy.
"Hello, Grandma." Duan Yao placed her hands on her white knees and bowed slightly.
"Well, this kid … Good girl. She's not afraid of catching a cold in these clothes." Seeing that Duan Yao was more polite than last time, Grandma was pleased. She walked over and led Duan Yao into the living room.
Now that the weather was getting colder, most people in the city were wearing autumn clothes and preparing winter clothes. Duan Yao was still wearing a black pleated skirt, and she didn't put on any stockings to keep her slim legs warm, which made Grandma's heart ache. "Girls nowadays don't know how to take care of themselves."
It was warm in the house, and Yue Yang was cooking in the kitchen with an apron on. When she saw Hao Ren and the others, she greeted them through the kitchen glass. She wasn't good at cooking, but she had been learning how to cook from Zhao Hongyu in order to win back her grandma's impression of her.
Seeing Zhao Yanzi here, Hao Ren knew that she stayed to protect his family because she was worried about them.
Seeing her pout, Hao Ren knew that she wasn't satisfied with Duan Yao's return.
However, no matter what, Duan Yao was Lady Zhen's beloved disciple, and Lady Zhen had saved Hao Ren's life. Hao Ren didn't have any other intentions in taking Duan Yao back.
"She's only staying for a few days and will be back soon," Hao Ren walked over and whispered in Zhao Yanzi's ear.
Zhao Yanzi shrugged her shoulders, still a little unwilling.
Hao Ren gently hugged her shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and patted her back. At this critical moment, Zhao Yanzi volunteered to stay at his home and protect his family. Hao Ren was quite touched.
Zhao Yanzi blushed when she was suddenly pulled into Hao Ren's arms in front of everyone in the living room. She punched Hao Ren's chest with her fists and shook her shoulders, trying to break free from Hao Ren's hug.
She had been worried sick recently. Hao Ren had disappeared for more than ten days, and when he finally came back, he was captured by the Dragon God Shrine.
She hated herself for not being powerful enough to rescue Hao Ren from the Dragon God Shrine. However, Xie Yujia bravely went to the Demon Sea to get reinforcements and even brought Hao Ren back.
Thinking of Xie Yujia's sincerity toward Hao Ren, Zhao Yanzi felt bad, but she was still grateful to Xie Yujia.
"Hehehehe …" Grandma chuckled when she saw Hao Ren pulling Zhao Yanzi into his arms.
Duan Yao bit on her lip and didn't know what to feel. She just felt a little sad.
"Where's my dad?" Hao Ren asked.
"In the study room. I don't know what he published these days, but he's been so excited that he locks himself in the study room the moment he gets home," Grandma complained.
"Ok …" Hao Ren walked to the study room, knocked on the door, and walked in.
Hao Zhonghua was lying on the desk reading a German document that he had just printed out. He didn't look up until Hao Ren pushed the door open.
He was so immersed in reading that he didn't even come out to greet Xie Yujia and the others who had just come home.
"Oh, you're back," Hao Zhonghua said absentmindedly when he saw Hao Ren.
Hao Ren had taken a leave of absence from school for more than ten days. It was his first day home, but Hao Zhonghua looked calm, still immersed in the document.
"How's Dad's Dragon Search Project?" Seeing the girls chatting with Grandma in the living room, Hao Ren closed the door and got straight to the point.
"Ah! You know it too! " Hao Zhonghua looked up abruptly, and his eyes were filled with the excitement of a kid who saw his favorite toy. "Opportunities are indeed for those who are prepared! Last time, a piece of scale floated in when the tide hit the sea. I secretly put it away and took it to the research institute for analysis. Guess what I found … "
"What did you find?" Hao Ren asked.
"I found that this is a creature that hasn't been discovered yet! Since the outside world denied my hypothesis, I secretly took it to the research institute to study it. I extracted a set of special gene sequences and found that this creature's gene combination is even more perfect than that of humans! "
"Then … did you announce it?" Hao Ren asked.
"To create a sensational effect, I didn't plan to keep this research result to myself. So, I cut this dragon scale-like fragment into a dozen pieces and distributed them to the top biologists around the world for secret research. Just the day before yesterday, we published a paper on the same topic together!"
Hao Zhonghua said excitedly.
Standing in front of the table, Hao Ren felt like his head was about to explode.
The top biologists around the world published the latest research results on this dragon scale, which was equivalent to dropping a heavy bomb in the quiet scientific world!
Any scientist with a little bit of experience could feel that this discovery was close to the Nobel Prize!
The research project codenamed 'Dragon Search Project' had made a breakthrough! Moreover, it was a joint effort by the top research institutes around the world!
His dad's selfless contribution to the scientific world had created a huge mess!
"The most surprising thing is that the dragon scale fragment has a special energy fluctuation. It's very weak, but it's definitely different from ordinary creatures!" Hao Zhonghua continued.
Hao Ren almost broke out in cold sweat. This was the scale of a metal-elemental dragon cultivator, and it could be used to make dharma treasures. Of course, it would be different!
Also, there might be residual metal-elemental dragon blood on it. If scientists used it for embryo experiments, it would be even more troublesome!
If Hao Zhonghua did the research independently, it would be easier to deal with. However, he scattered the fragment around the world and mobilized the world's top technology to study this dragon scale. Then, he released the news together. This development left the Dragon God Shrine at a loss!
"How is it? Are you scared out of your wits by your dad?" Hao Zhonghua asked smugly when he saw Hao Ren standing there in a daze.
He stroked his beard with a smile and said, "I told you that there would be a dragon and evidence. Now that the scientific community in the world is interested, we might find a real dragon soon!"
In the past few days, he had been busy contacting scientists all over the world, and the latest developments kept coming to him. Hao Zhonghua, who started the 'Dragon Search Project', had become the leader of this world-class project!
Hao Zhonghua had attracted the interest of the top scientists all over the world through the distributed fragments, and they were all included in his project to some extent!
He didn't want to win a Nobel Prize; he just wanted this' Dragon Search Project 'to be a success!
Hao Ren looked at Hao Zhonghua who was glowing, and he knew why the Dragon God Shrine added a sentence in the mission: "Kill if necessary."
Hao Ren, who had exposed this incident, was now the leader of the worldwide Dragon Search Project!
"How come you two have a common topic today?" Yue Yang pushed open the door from the living room and walked in with her sleeves rolled up. "Time for dinner!"
Yue Yang had just walked out of the kitchen, and her face was also glowing.
Of course, she knew about the research progress of Hao Zhonghua's golden scales. This important sample, which was cut up by Hao Zhonghua and distributed to all over the world, had stirred up the entire scientific community in the last few days.
Yue Yang was a bit angry at Hao Zhonghua for hiding such an important scientific discovery from his wife. However, as the whole world turned its attention to Hao Zhonghua, Yue Yang felt very proud when Hao Zhonghua suddenly became the leader of the scientific community.
When Hao Zhonghua started the 'Dragon Search Project', all his friends in and out of the scientific community thought that Hao Zhonghua was hot-headed. However, Hao Zhonghua had led to the biggest discovery of the century!
Yue Yang seemed to have found the feeling of her youth again, and she thought, "Honey, you are awesome!"
"Let's go and eat!" Hao Zhonghua patted Hao Ren's shoulder and put his arm around Hao Ren's arm like a brother.
Xie Yujia and the Lu sisters were setting up the table, and Duan Yao, who was wearing a black pleated dress, was helping to spread the tablecloth.
Hao Ren knew that he couldn't take it back for the time being unless he could get rid of Hao Zhonghua and break up the project from the top. Then, he would mess up all the information and make a big mistake in the history of science.
"Girls, sit down and eat!" Grandma was also glowing as she called out to the girls in the room.
When Grandma saw Hao Ren coming out of the study room with Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang, she snorted and thought, "Damn Hao Ren, you went out for more than ten days. If you don't leave a seed for the Hao Family, you're not allowed to go out!"
"Ugh …" For some reason, Hao Ren shivered. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
