Chapter 467: Meeting an Acquaintance the Dungeon
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
“The room above is ours.” Su Han said when she saw Hao Ren pausing.
‘Our room…’ This phrase sounded a bit strange.
Hao Ren hurried to catch up with Su Han as they continued walked upward.
Inside the Dragon G.o.d Shrine were strong array formations. With Hao Ren’s ability at low-tier Gen-level, he wasn’t able to break the restriction of the array formations and fly up even if he had the authorization.
They continued to climb up a few floors.
Then, Su Han finally turned into the corridor connecting to the stairs, and Hao Ren rushed to follow.
This swirling staircase in the Dragon G.o.d Shrine linked different floors and corridors as if it were a maze.
On the two sides of the corridor were stone doors.
-East Ocean City-
On the top of a heavy stone door was engraved three ancient characters.
Su Han took out her token and put it in the dent on the door.
The door slowly opened, and a wide s.p.a.ce appeared.
This place couldn’t even be described as a room; it was like a top-cla.s.s presidential suite. The super ‘living room’ was made of black stones. Because of the black color, it looked solemn and luxurious.
There were a few crystals mounted on the walls, and they acted like windows, allowing the people inside to look out.
Because a giant floating platform lifted the Dragon G.o.d Shrine, and Hao Ren’s suite was on the 34th floor, the sceneries he saw through the crystal windows was the blue sky and white clouds!
This was like a top-cla.s.s suite that floated in the sky!
The flooring was black, and the tables and desks were also made of black stones. However, they were not rough because they had been polished smooth. Also, the nature essence inside was even denser than outside!
“The East Ocean City is one of the four largest cities that are connected with the four ocean dragon clans, so the regional inspectors of East Ocean City have the best treatment compared to other regional inspectors.” Su Han put the token by her waist again and walked inside elegantly. “This is our resting place at the Dragon G.o.d Shrine.”
Hao Ren walked in and saw a ‘bedroom’ in the suite.
Rather than calling it a bedroom, it was more like a cultivation room because there was a white jade bed instead of a regular bed.
“You can go and give it a try,” Su Han said.
Hao Ren walked into the bedroom that was to the left of the door. Inside this room were other daily essentials in addition to the white jade bed that was in a square-shape and three meters on each side.
Hao Ren reached out to touch the white jade bed, and he cooled down immediately.
“Don’t underestimate this white jade bed. It’s made of 10,000-year-old cold jade. Its quality isn’t too different from my natal dharma treasure.
Hao Ren thought back to Su Han’s White Jade Sword. He believed that the material that made Su Han’s natal dharma treasure wouldn’t be bad.
It was an extreme luxury to use this piece of material as a bed since it was of similar material as Su Han’s White Jade Sword.
It meant that this white jade bed was far more expensive than a bed made from pure gold! Hao Ren almost wanted to run over and chipped some of it for his own use.
Of course, he wouldn’t do that kind of stuff. If it were Zhen Congming though, he might have done it.
Hao Ren lied down on the white jade bed and started to use the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, and it was no longer cold. Contrastingly, he felt a warm energy embracing him.
The four openings that were recently unlocked in his dragon core were nurtured by the warm energy.
“This type of 10,000-year-old cold jade bed looks like ordinary cold jade, but when nature essence is used, it would have the characteristics of warm jade. That is why this white jade bed could not only be used to a.s.sist with cultivation but also for healing.”
Su Han’s words disrupted Hao Ren’s experience.
Hao Ren turned around and saw that Su Han had lied down sideways on the white jade bed as well. He had been absorbed in cultivation for the last hour.
This white jade bed was three meters wide and three meters long, so there was still a distance between the two. However, they were still ‘sleeping’ on the same bed, so Hao Ren immediately sat up straight.
“For the next two months, I’ll cultivate here in hopes of breaking through my current plateau,” Su Han looked up at Hao Ren and said. She was holding her neck with her hands.
Su Han was Su Han after all. She was still gorgeous when she lied down as if she were from a delicate painting.
“The bed…” Hao Ren looked around. “Is this the only one?”
“It is a precious treasure. How many do you think there are?” Su Han asked him.
“Um…” Hao Ren was speechless.
“I don’t mind using this white jade together,” Su Han said.
Hao Ren quickly straightened his back and said, “No need! No need!”
He finally understood why Su Han was so against Qin Shaoyang being the regional inspector of the East Ocean City.
If she and Qin Shaoyang were both regional inspectors of the East Ocean City, they had to share a room in the Dragon G.o.d Shrine.
Hao Ren wasn’t sure if Su Han was being serious when she said that she didn’t mind him sleeping on the same bed, but he wanted to be safe. Therefore, he politely rejected Su Han.
Su Han quickly sat up and reached for two black robes in the closet.
“Change into this black robe. I’ll take you to other places.” Su Han handed the larger robe to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren reached over immediately. Then, He looked at Su Han, and she was looking back at him.
“I… I’ll go out.” Hao Ren held onto the robe and suddenly came to a realization. Then, he stiffly walked out of the bedroom.
He took off his jacket and put on the black robe. He had worn a similar robe when he partic.i.p.ated in the Dragon G.o.d Shrine’s general exam, so he didn’t have any unfamiliar feelings.
Then, he waved his sleeves and turned around to walk to the bedroom unconsciously.
At this moment, Su Han had taken off her sapphire blue one-piece dress and was putting on the black robe.
The bedroom didn’t have any doors, and Hao Ren saw Su Han’s body altogether when he turned around.
She was only wearing her undergarments, and her body was even more beautiful than all the models Hao Ren had seen on television and in magazines.
There was absolutely no extra fat on her arms, legs, and waist! Her body ratio was also perfect!
Su Han looked straight at Hao Ren with laser beam eyes.
Shua!
The White Jade Sword by Su Han’s side suddenly flew up and dashed at the middle of Hao Ren’s eyes.
Hao Ren quickly used his hands to block as the hundun sword energies appeared before his hands. He couldn’t cancel the power, so his body flew backward uncontrollably!
Bam! Hao Ren hit the black stone pillar at the back of the room.
He felt like the bones in his body were all shattered.
Su Han had put on the black robe now. She walked over with a cold expression, and she plucked out the White Jade Sword from Hao Ren’s hands.
There were two holes in Hao Ren’s hands as he put his hands together when he tried to block. Therefore, when Su Han drew the sword, Hao Ren felt excruciating pain.
Su Han stared at him without saying anything. Then, she suddenly turned around, opened the stone door, and walked out.
She took a few steps and realized that Hao Ren was still sitting in the corner of the room. She looked back coldly and said, “Why are you not catching up?”
Hao Ren knew that he was in the wrong, so he crushed a detox pill and spread it over his wounds. Then he hurried to catch up with Su Han.
Su Han wearing the black robe made her look much das.h.i.+ng than normal, but she was still pretty in a unique way. She loved wearing white, but her white robes were usually bigger, making her look a bit fluffy. The long silk black robe was a bit tighter on her, showing more body curves.
Hao Ren was scared that Su Han was still mad at him, so he didn’t dare to walk side-by-side with her; he intentionally left a two-step distance between them.
From that angle, he was actually able to see her best side.
“Did something happen?” Su Han asked Hao Ren as she suddenly turned over to him.
“No… Nothing happened!” Hao Ren immediately responded.
“Then, why are you scared of me?” Su Han raised a brow and asked.
“This…” Hao Ren slightly nodded and hurried to walk side-by-side with Su Han.
The two black robes each had a three-clawed golden dragon on each shoulder, indicating that they were both level 3 inspectors. The clothes were more visible as symbols of their status than their tokens.
The level 1 and level 2 inspectors bowed to them from afar.
To reach level 3, a level 1 inspector would need to complete a large number of missions and acc.u.mulate a lot of contribution points, or they would have to increase their realms drastically.
Su Han ranked first place in the general exams that year, so she started as a level 3 inspector. After she completed a few difficult missions which involved catching evil dragon criminals, she was promoted to a level 4 inspector and became the regional inspector for an important city – the East Ocean City.
Hao Ren became a level 3 inspector due to his spectacular performance at the Dragon G.o.d Shrine’s general exams this year as well as his relations.h.i.+p with Su Han.
To be the regional inspector for the East Ocean City, one had to be at least a level 3 inspector. The Dragon G.o.d Shrine’s arrangement was mainly to fulfill Su Han’s wishes.
“I’m going to take you to the restricted area of the Dragon G.o.d Shrine – the dungeon.”
Su Han said calmly as she led Hao Ren to a cloister.
The entrance of this cloister had two large and heavy stone gates that could be separated, and there was a three-clawed golden dragon mark on both doors. Su Han took out her token and put it onto the dent in the middle, and the door slowly opened.
Unlike the corridors they had just walked past, this one was a lot more humid and dark. It was even colder, but the nature essence was extremely thin.
Bam! Dung! The cages and prison cells started to shake violently as the prisoners saw inspectors walking in.
“d.a.m.n you! Come fight me if you dare!”
“Let me out, or I’ll bite your neck until you die!”
“Come! Come! Kill me!”
There were all sorts of shouts around Su Han and Hao Ren.
Su Han maintained her usual calm expression, leading the way. She used her normal composed tone and said, “If you see someone you want to fight, you could take on him or her in a battle. If they win, they can get ten years off their sentences. But you need to remember, they don’t hold back.”
Hao Ren turned around and looked at the prisoners on the two sides of the dungeon.
The prisoners looked in the direction of Hao Ren and swore at them to try to provoke a fight. All sorts of abusive languages and mockeries were aimed at Hao Ren.
Every cultivator imprisoned in the Dragon G.o.d Shrine was extremely evil. Otherwise, the local dragon palaces would deal with them themselves rather than letting the Dragon G.o.d Shrine do the work.
The Dragon G.o.d Shrine would not kill them but would keep them locked up for hundreds of years. Some prisoners wouldn’t be able to finish their sentences before they die.
“Little kid from East Sea! I didn’t expect that you piece of sh*t could become an inspector! The Dragon G.o.d Shrine is getting weaker!” A sharp but violent voice sounded from Hao Ren’s left.
“I, Black Wolf, will come out and murder your entire family! Hahaha! I’ll kill that girl of yours and also that old witch!” A sharp voice continued to shout out.
