Chapter 722: It’s All Arranged by Fate!

Roar… Qiu Niu let out a furious roar, and his dragon whiskers stood on ends while flames appeared around its dragon body.

However, he calmed down quickly.

Lady Zhen addressed him as ‘Father’ in a cold tone.

Although she still held a grudge against him, she had acknowledged Qiu Niu as her father.

Due to the past incidents, the father and daughter had disowned each other for thousands of years, and Lady Zhen even sent Hao Ren and Su Han to injure her father while he was at his weakest moment.

She had even controlled the purple gold hairpin and exploded it!

It was her protest for Qiu Niu taking away Zhen Congming!

“Father…” Hovering in the high sky, Qiu Niu savored this word carefully.

Lady Zhen didn’t show any gratitude, but she had acknowledged their relationship as father and daughter again! If Qiu Niu had stood back and watched, she would have entered reincarnation fearlessly without acknowledging her father ever again! Qiu Niu would have lost his daughter forever, and Lady Zhen would never call him father again! Everything would be gone with the reincarnation.

Hu! Hu!

Qiu Niu spat out flames from his nostrils.

When his gaze turned toward Hao Ren and Su Han, his fury rose again.

Seeing Qiu Niu’s angry expression, Hao Ren shivered and didn’t know what to do.

He realized that he and Su Han had been two chess pieces in the conflict between the father and daughter when they attacked Qiu Niu in the Nine Dragon Palace.

Now, he realized that Zhen Congming was Qiu Niu’s grandson. No wonder Lady Zhen wasn’t worried when Qiu Niu took her son but looked resentful when she mentioned it.

Since Lady Zhen didn’t want to see Qiu Niu, she had done some calculations and asked Hao Ren and Su Han to get a godly item for her when Qiu Niu was at the weakest moment. In this way, she could bring her Qing back to life!

Qiu Niu must have known Lady Zhen’s plan, and Hao Ren guessed that Qiu Niu might have gone easy on them in the Nine Dragon Palace!

The fierce battles that Hao Ren and Su Han engaged in with Qiu Niu in the Nine Dragon Palace indirectly repaired Qiu Niu and Lady Zhen’s father-daughter relationship!

The most innocent victim in the conflict was Zhen Congming; he didn’t know that his master who made him create elixir pills was his grandpa!

“Humph!”

To relieve his frustration for not being able to suppress his stubborn daughter, Qiu Niu shot his dragon claw toward Hao Ren.

Ding! Ding!

Two lights, one white and one red, shot from the ocean to block Qiu Niu’s dragon claw.

Qiu Niu’s claws broke the white light easily, but the red one blocked his claw.

“Hahahaha…”

The Penglai Island rose in the distance while Zhen Yuan Zi hovered above the island in his simple Taoist robe with a Daoist whisk in his hand. He was laughing as he stroked his beard.

The red light had come from his direction.

“Ancestral Master Qiu Niu, this young friend is my brother. If he offended you in some way, I, the older brother, beg for your forgiveness.”

While he said this, Zhen Yuan Zi rested the Daoist whisk on his arm and bowed toward Qiu Niu slightly.

Seeing Zhen Yuan Zi’s sudden appearance, Qiu Niu froze.

He turned his head toward Hao Ren, surprised that this kid was related to Zhen Yuan Zi, the leader of the Earthly Immortals.

As a figure who had understood the Heavenly Dao in the Hundun Era, Zhen Yuan Zi was on the same level as Qiu Niu. However, despite his humble and gracious manner, his senior status and great power earned respect from Qiu Niu.

Seeing Zhen Yuan Zi begging for forgiveness, Qiu Niu looked embarrassed. It seemed like he was a bully who suppressed two youngsters with his super strength.

After understanding the Heavenly Dao, Zhen Yuan Zi had been serene and hadn’t been in a battle for many years. However, judging by the red light that he had just shot out, Qiu Niu knew that Zhen Yuan Zi’s strength was no less than his own!

After rescuing Lady Zhen, Qiu Niu had expected that she would show some gratitude. But to his surprise and displeasure, she had given him the cold shoulder. Angry, he had just wanted to teach Hao Ren a lesson; he didn’t intend to kill him.

Now that Zhen Yuan Zi showed up, he couldn’t even touch Hao Ren.

“Hahaha, I understand. Since this little friend exchanged a few attacks with me in the Nine Dragon Palace, I just wanted to give him some tips!”

Qiu Niu suddenly shot out a flame from his dragon claws.

Six fire rocks entered Hao Ren’s body and burned out a dragon-shaped image into his body.

Hao Ren felt acute pains all over his body, but he sensed that all his acupoints began to connect after a little while.

To show respect to Zhen Yuan Zi, Qiu Niu couldn’t attack Hao Ren, but he was still displeased with Hao Ren for attacking him in the Nine Dragon Palace. To save his face as a dragon ancestor, he gave a severe punishment to Hao Ren in the disguise of elevating his cultivation strength.

“Hehe. Thanks for your help, Ancestral Master Qiu Niu.” With his realm, Zhen Yuan Zi knew that the six fire stones not only created a lot of pain for Hao Ren but also unblocked his acupoints.

He called Qiu Niu, Ancestral Master, not because the latter had a higher status than him but due to his politeness. After all, Qiu Niu was the ancestor to dragon cultivators, and he was the leader of the Earthly Immortals; they were in two different systems.

Strictly speaking, despite his special situation, Hao Ren was one member of the Dragon Tribe, and it was Qiu Niu’s right to teach him lessons.

“Brother Hao, hurry up and thank Ancestral Master Qiu Niu.” Zhen Yuan Zi looked at Hao Ren with a smile and reminded him.

“Thank you, Ancestral Master Qiu Niu!” Hao Ren lifted his sore arms and cupped his hands toward Qiu Niu while he said politely.

“Humph!”

Qiu Niu soared in the high sky while spitting out flames from his nostrils.

Although he didn’t know that Hao Ren had such an extraordinary connection, Zhen Yuan Zi was nice enough to give him a way out of the situation with dignity.

“Here are two Immortal Fruits, and you must heal the injuries when you get back to land.” Zhen Yuan Zi took out two white fruits and tossed them at Hao Ren. Then, the white fruits flew into Hao Ren’s hands.

Qiu Niu had wanted to teach Hao Ren a lesson, but he could only create some pain in Hao Ren’s body and increase his cultivation strength. From Zhen Yuan Zi’s point of view, it was the result of the interference of the Heaven Dao.

Since Hao Ren was now the chosen one, he naturally received aid from the Heavenly Dao.

“Thank you, Brother Zhen Yuan!”

While putting away the fruits, Hao Ren thanked Zhen Yuan Zi. However, he still found this new way of addressing Zhen Yuan Zi awkward.

“Ancestral Master Qiu Niu, I have two extra Immortal Fruits with me. If you like, they are my compensation for the offense that my brother caused.”

With a wave of his Daoist whisk, Zhen Yuan Zi took out two white Immortal Fruits from his sleeve and placed them onto a platter before lightly pushing the platter toward Qiu Niu.

Qiu Niu’s cultivation had been interrupted by Hao Ren and Su Han at the critical moment. Also, after blocking the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation for Lady Zhen, Qiu Niu needed some holy fruits to repair his body, which made Zhen Yuan Zi’s gifts especially precious.

By emphasizing that they were compensations, Zhen Yuan Zi showed Qiu Niu great respect.

After all, the saying of extra Immortal Fruits was just to show his modesty. Zhen Yuan Zi’s Immortal Fruit Tree produced only about 30 Immortal Fruits every 10,000 years.

“I’ll accept them, and I’ll remember your generosity, Zhen Yuan Immortal!” After taking the two precious Immortal Fruits, Qiu Niu flew toward the Nine Dragon Palace.

After tossing Hao Ren and Su Han into the Demon Sea, he had planned to bring them back. After all, since they entered the Nine Dragon Palace, they must get out of it by themselves!

However, since he had gotten two Immortal Fruits from Zhen Yuan Zi, he could recover the cultivation strength that he lost in the battle with Hao Ren and Su Han and even gain some extra strength, which gave him no reason to torture them anymore.

“Little Girl! I will only loan you the thing that you took from me for one month! If you don’t return it by then, I’ll take it myself!” Qiu Niu yelled while he flew toward the Nine Dragon Palace.

Obviously, the words were for Su Han. Since the Nuwa Stone had been shot into Su Han’s body by Lady Zhen, he would damage her body if he took it now. He was very generous to give her one month!

It was already a great fortune to borrow such a godly item for three days!

Zhen Yuan Zi’s two Immortal Fruits had gotten her great benefits!

Not understanding the situation, Hao Ren was afraid that Su Han couldn’t reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm in one month and thus thought that Qiu Niu was a bit too aggressive.

“You two! Don’t think all problems are solved!” Qiu Niu suddenly tossed the words into the ocean.

His magnificent voice shook the entire Demon Sea and surged up waves that several meters high while it traveled to the bottom of the ocean.

“Don’t worry, Father. We’ll handle the issues with Second Uncle!” Lady Zhen’s clear voice came from the bottom of the ocean.

“Humph!” With a snort, Qiu Niu shot into the Nine Dragon Palace which instantly vanished.

Although he had blocked the World-Ending Lightning Tribulation for Lady Zhen, it didn’t mean that it was the end of their problems. Among the nine brothers, Qiu Niu wasn’t the most powerful one.

When Lady Zhen cried and begged him on her knees many years ago, he had refused to interfere, which was why she had left in anger and severed ties with him.

If he hadn’t helped this time, he would have lost his daughter forever. After thousands of years of thinking, he had changed his mind already.

However, after Lady Zhen brought her Qin back to life with all her efforts, no one knew what would happen next.

Watching the Nine Dragon Palace disappear in the sky, Hao Ren wondered if the spiritual herbs that he had collected were enough to cultivate the Seven-Core Five-Color Lotus.

His new brother Zhen Yuan Zi might have the ability to provide the missing materials, but Hao Ren was too bashful to ask for his help after eating several Immortal Fruits.

“Heavenly Dao is vast and high. Brother, you must work harder!” Zhen Yuan Zi looked at Hao Ren from the distant Penglai Island and said with sincerity.

“I will!” Hao Ren cupped his hands and answered.

If he didn’t reach the Heavenly Dragon Realm soon, he would be too embarrassed to call himself Zhen Yuan Zi’s brother!

With a wave of his Daoist whisk, Zhen Yuan Zi vanished in the mist together with Penglai Island.
