Chapter 704: The Dragon Palace Crown Prince Party?

"Teacher Su..." Xie Yujia saw Su Han coming over and hurriedly greeted her respectfully.

"Hn." Su Han replied indifferently, then looked at Hao Ren, "We leave tomorrow. Come to my place tonight."

Her tone was cold with an unshakable firmness.

Xie Yujia looked questioningly at both Su Han and Hao Ren, not knowing what she meant but reluctant to interrupt and ask straight away.

"I... have class..." Hao Ren said.

"Lü Qing has already been informed. You'll be on leave for a week." Su Han cut in.

"Alright then," Hao Ren knew it was within these few days, but he hadn’t expected Su Han to give him no time at all to mentally prepare himself.

“By the way, you might never come back,” Su Han added suddenly.

Hao Ren’s heart skipped a beat. He glanced at Su Han's indifferent face and instantly broke out in cold sweat.

To take one week of leave, perhaps never to return.

Su Han was always cold, but not entirely unforgiving. Occasionally she would be more relaxed. Hao Ren knew that if her expression turned extremely cold, it usually meant either she encountered someone she didn’t like or that she felt nervous.

The danger of the Nine Dragons Palace might not be inferior to the Sea of Ten Thousand Demons.

He and Su Han were about to face one of the fiercest Ancestral Dragons, Quniu, who was even more vicious than Princess Zhen.

"Alright then." Su Han sidestepped between Hao Ren and Xie Yujia, calmly heading towards the cafeteria.

Xie Yujia turned her head and helplessly glanced at Su Han.

Su Han was half like a teacher to her, having once guided her in cultivation. But today she seemed colder than before...

Could it be that... Su Han also really likes Hao Ren

Xie Yujia’s heart suddenly tightened slightly, stirring a faint intuition that felt both accurate and inaccurate.

"Let's go." Seeing Xie Yujia standing there in a daze, Hao Ren grabbed her delicate fingers and quickly headed towards the teaching building.

The boys saw Hao Ren walking away with Xie Yujia and could only envy them. The feeling of holding a girl’s hand—especially one as beautiful as Xie Yujia—was simply heart-stirring just to think about it.

Xie Yujia obediently walked beside Hao Ren, quickening her pace. Although Hao Ren's feet were swift like the wind, she enjoyed being led by him.

In the classroom, students had already taken their seats; Hao Ren and Xie Yujia arrived a few minutes late.

Seeing Hao Ren pulling slightly breathless Xie Yujia appear at the door, all the students in class turned their gazes toward them.

"Sorry for being late," Hao Ren apologized softly to the teacher and pulled Xie Yujia into the classroom to find Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s seats.

Xie Yujia's face flushed red, head lowered as she followed Hao Ren into their seat.

Since she was young, she had always been an excellent student and had never, in front of everyone's eyes or her teachers, been led into the classroom by a boy.

"Hehe, Big Mistress’s realm has improved," Lu Lili glanced at Xie Yujia and said.

Lu Linlin also looked at Xie Yujia with some surprise. Given Xie Yujia's constitution, she should have been slow in cultivation, yet she had managed to reach the later stage of Foundation Establishment, which clearly showed how hard she had worked on her cultivation.

The students sitting before and behind saw Hao Ren take his seat and all turned their gaze towards him.

They used to think that Hao Ren was just doing well in school. Who would have thought that he was the son of Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang, an absolute special character

The feeling was as if the daughter of the US President was sitting in their classroom, and they could not help but look at her.

Xie Yujia borrowed Lu Lili’s notes and copied them while listening to the lecture. The black golden shield on her collarbone, like a button, slowly rotated, emitting faint spiritual energy.

The life-and-death talisman circulated within Xie Yujia's body, responding with the Heaven-Linking Spiritual Treasure Golden Shield, making the shield surface display a blurry Yin-Yang pattern as black and white intertwined.

Scattered Clouds Immortal had infused true "Great Dao" into the original talismans she struck into Xie Yujia's body, containing yin-yang life-and-death transformations.

The Golden Shield merely greedily absorbed spiritual energy; however, the spiritual energy in the treasure was already saturated. The automatically operating life-and-death talisman within Xie Yujia’s body sucked out the excess spiritual energy from the shield and transferred it to her meridians.

Hao Ren sat beside Xie Yujia, unknowingly benefiting from the balance regulation of the life-and-death talismans and gaining some of the innate treasure aura from the Golden Shield.

The legendary powerful treasures automatically operated, increasing spiritual energy concentration within a radius of ten thousand miles. The spiritual energy inadvertently released by the Golden Shield was not much but was greatly beneficial to Foundation Establishment-stage Xie Yujia.

If Scattered Clouds Immortal were in Donghai City, Xie Yujia would ask for her guidance, but now that she was meditating at the Eighth Level Heaven, all Xie Yujia could do was rely on herself, which was quite arduous.

In comparison, Zhao Yanzi could seek advice from Dragon Palace elders like Lu Qing and Cloud. Occasionally when she returned to the Dragon Palace, Elder Star Moon would check her progress as well.

Only after Scattered Clouds Immortal formally emerged from seclusion would this formal teacher care for her disciple Xie Yujia.

Neither parents nor teachers were in Donghai City; Xie Yujia was indeed alone.

Hao Ren saw her leaning her head down, diligently copying notes and felt a bit more affectionate towards her.

When the Nine Dragons Palace returns, if I achieve great breakthroughs, I will help Xie Yujia train thoroughly. Hao Ren thought to himself.

The time for four classes passed in a blink.

Hao Ren helped Lu Linlin and Lu Lili tidy up their notes when Lu Qi suddenly stood at the classroom door and beckoned Hao Ren over with his hand.

Next to him was Chén Sù, the Prince of Fire Dragon Palace from Mount Tai Bai who had just transferred schools.

I guess they're inviting me for a meal... Hao Ren smiled.

The Prince of Fire Dragon Palace from Mount Tai Bai, after hearing about Lu Qi's introduction, came to transfer his school. From the perspective of Donghai Dragon Palace, it was indeed appropriate to get closer.

As Hao Ren walked towards the door, he saw a large group of young men standing behind the classroom door.

"Brother Hao," Lu Qi looked at Hao Ren and said somewhat awkwardly, "These are friends from various Dragon Palaces. Some were introduced by Chén Sù, while some are friends of friends."

Hao Ren looked at them; there were roughly thirty people with varying realms and attributes, some dressed elaborately, others simply.

"This is the Crown Prince of the Earth Dragon Palace on Mount Min, this is the Crown Prince of the Water Dragon Palace in Hongze Lake, and this is the Crown Prince of the Fire Dragon Palace on Mount Qinling..."

Lu Qi pulled a few people around him to introduce them casually to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren recalled that Zhao Guang had mentioned yesterday before leaving that some dragon palaces' crown princes would come to Donghai City for study. However, he didn't expect the actions of these dragon palaces to be so swift; the next day, all these crown princes came to Donghai University!

"They are here just to take a look first. Other formalities will follow," Lu Qi continued.

Today, while he was handling some matters in the calligraphy club's office, suddenly a large group of dragon clan cultivators arrived at his office. It turned out they were young crown princes from various dragon palaces who all wanted to see Hao Ren; thus, Lu Qi brought them over to meet him.

Hao Ren had recently gained widespread recognition in the dragon clan circles, especially among the younger generation. The dragon kings and elders who visited Donghai Dragon Palace for the calligraphy exhibition were full of praise when they returned to their respective palaces.

Various stories about Hao Ren quickly spread across each dragon palace.

In addition to his stunning performance in the Divine Dragon Temple's exam, now being a fourth-level inspector, these crown princes were all curious—mixed with some doubt and admiration—and thus decided to come see for themselves in Donghai City.

With the elders from each dragon palace accompanying them, these young dragon clan cultivators flew under the cover of night, able to arrive at Donghai City within just a few hours.

Now that they saw Hao Ren looking ordinary, they began to doubt whether he was truly as powerful as rumored.

"Great. Welcome! I'll treat all of you to dinner," said Hao Ren generously.

Xie Zaijia and Lu Family sisters walked over from the classroom, standing on either side of Hao Ren.

The discerning crown princes immediately noticed that out of the three girls surrounding Hao Ren, two were Kun-level cultivators and one was at Foundation Establishment stage!

Kun-level cultivators are rare in most dragon palaces. Yet they followed Hao Ren. The Foundation Establishment-stage human cultivator seemed to have a non-trivial background considering he could live on land controlled by the dragon clan.

Seeing Hao Ren leading them to Hongqi Plaza at West Gate, these crown princes followed him enthusiastically.

The dragon clans held reunions every few years. Important large conferences discussed crucial matters and were usually attended by those in power from each palace while the crown princes stayed behind to guard their palaces.

Future guardians of their respective palaces, these young crown princes' training was strict, rarely allowed out for leisure.

This time, however, their "elders" granted unprecedented permission for them to leave the confines of their palaces and visit Donghai City—something that made them extremely excited!

Thirty-some young crown princes gathering together like this had never happened before!

Hao Ren led them through the school's west gate, bringing them to Hongqi Plaza where he reserved the second floor of a hot pot restaurant.

Liu Qi was quick on his feet and guided everyone to their seats.

The vast majority of these crown princes were seeing Donghai University for the first time. Some had never even been in a city! This novelty and joy were indescribable!

Crown princes could not leave their dragon palaces at will, much less stray beyond the influence range of their palaces. Their behavior was also strictly regulated inside the palace; this trip to Donghai City for inspection was done under special royal dispensation!

"Let's introduce ourselves," Hao Ren stood up generously. "I'm Hao Ren. This is my girlfriend, Xie Yujia. And these are Lu L琳琳 and 陸莉莉."

Hearing Hao Ren refer to her as his "girlfriend", Xie Yujia's face turned slightly red; she smiled at everyone.

The crown princes seized the opportunity to look at Xie Yujia, finding this girl ethereal and captivating. Despite only being Foundation Establishment stage, her aura was extraordinary!

;br>（請注意，原文中“陸琳琳”和“陸莉莉”的翻譯保持了一致性，但在英文中可能需要根據具體情況進行調整或提供更多的背景資訊來區分她們。此處的翻譯保留了原始格式不變。）

They all knew that Hao Ren was the son-in-law of the Dragon Palace, with his main wife being a little princess. However, having another girlfriend didn't seem like a big deal.

Dragon cultivators needed to ensure the continuation of their lineage, so having three or four consorts was quite normal. Take these princes' fathers, for instance—how many of them don’t have numerous consorts

If they were to inherit the Dragon Palace, naturally, they would need to pick suitable spouses early on. Despite appearing young and youthful, each prince already had their own princess!

But that didn't stop them from seeking out a second or third one! As long as the quality was good and they could afford it, more was better!

Therefore, Hao Ren did not introduce Lu Linni and Lu LiLi as his "girlfriends," but seeing how close they sat to him made everyone guess that these sisters were part of Hao Ren’s future harem.

As long as the princesses from Eastern Sea Dragon Palace didn’t object, nor did the dragon king and queen mother, taking a few more wives wouldn't be a problem...

It was said that Hao Ren already wielded immense power in the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace. Not only could he mobilize millions of troops from the palace, but even the little princesses obeyed his every command!

Seeing two beautiful female cultivators at Kun level and a warm and elegant Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting by Hao Ren’s side made everyone feel an intense sense of happiness.

This was all they could wish for in life!

The Eastern Sea Dragon Palace trusted Hao Ren so much that it seemed like they were already handing over the palace to him!

Seeing Hao Ren introduce himself first, these princes also introduced themselves sequentially according to their seating order.

They had all come for Hao Ren and now gathered together happily.

The dragon kings from various Dragon Palaces collectively decided to send their princes to the Eastern Sea University, akin to a short-term training camp, enabling their princes to interact with those from other palaces.

No matter if it’s two years, three years, or four years, this period of interaction would undoubtedly become precious networking resources for them.

And the reason they chose to send them to Donghai City instead of elsewhere was because the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was on the rise, and these dragon kings were certain that their princes would be convinced by Hao Ren’s prowess!

Only after meeting Hao Ren could the younger generation realize what it meant to say that there are mountains beyond mountains and skies beyond skies.

"Brother Hao is truly impressive! He fought with the peak Gān-level golden dragon elder for over thirty moves!" Chen Su from Huolong Palace on Mount Tai Bai was drinking while talking about Brother Hao's performance yesterday.

Invited to Donghai University by Lu Qi, he still had doubts about whether Hao Ren was really that powerful. But after witnessing the fierce battle yesterday, he was utterly convinced of Hao Ren’s might.

Such strength was something even with two hundred more years of cultivation, he couldn’t match! Who said Hao Ren would eventually take over Eastern Sea Dragon Palace just because of good fortune This was true power!

If his capabilities were lacking, the dragon king wouldn't easily hand over the palace to him.

Chen Su talked about what he saw yesterday, and other princes listened with a mixture of belief and skepticism.

What kind of strength was peak Gān level That was superpowerful cultivators that they couldn’t even withstand one move from!

But if it were just Chen Su talking about this, they wouldn't believe him either. The key point was their respective fathers returned to the palace and all mentioned Hao Ren’s strength in fighting peak Gān level without being quickly defeated.

Their eyes glittering with admiration as they looked at Hao Ren; each one wanted him to show off his skills but dared not challenge him rashly.

As this was their first meeting and they were all princes, losing to Hao Ren would be rather embarrassing.

Hao Ren smiled and ate while letting Chen Su talk freely. their pale arms high up in the air.Thus, Hao Ren joined them, becoming the sole male amidst this group.Xie Yujia's pace of making dumplings wasn't fast, but those she made were beautiful and neat; Zh...
