When the taxi approached the seaside road, the rain suddenly sloped towards the coast along the black coastline.
Zhao Yanzi, who was looking out the window intently, was startled and shrank in the direction of Hao Ren in the back seat.
Bang bang bang...
The rain hit the roof of the taxi, making a sound.
The sultry temperature suddenly became cooler with such heavy rain.
If the sunny weather of the past few days was the calm before the storm, then this kind of sunshine was suddenly broken on this night.
There were strong winds and heavy rain on the sea surface, and there were also turbulent undercurrents under the sea.
The 100,000-strong army led by Old Man Zeng of the West China Sea marched toward the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea.
The appearance of Zhao Haoran caused both South China Sea Dragon Palace and Beihai Dragon Palace to retreat in the face of difficulties, and also made Old Man Zeng feel like retreating.
However, Zeng Yitao was detained in the East China Sea Dragon Palace, which left Old Man Zeng with no other choice.
Zhao Haoran's move clearly meant that he wanted to start a war with Xihai Dragon Palace.
Zeng Yitao was once a training prodigy in Xihai Dragon Palace. Due to the intervention of a certain expert, his Dragon Core was completely damaged and he was unable to practice. However, this did not affect his ability to become the future heir of Xihai.
It's like Zhao Guang's realm is not high, but he can still control the East China Sea Dragon Palace. Strength is not the key to determining his identity.
The lifespan of the dragon clan is extremely long, so they generally do not develop too many children to avoid disputes in the future. Zhao Haoran only had three sons in his thousand years of experience.
Old man Zeng only had one son, and he died in an accident a few years ago. Therefore, his only direct heir was his grandson Zeng Yitao.
In the Xihai Dragon Palace, Zeng Xin is called the Old Dragon King, and Zeng Yitao is called the Prince. However, there is no official Dragon King. This is because Zeng Xin is now waiting for Zeng Yitao to officially come of age before helping Zeng Yitao to the position of Dragon King!
Now that Zeng Yitao has been captured, it is equivalent to the fact that the lifeblood of the West Sea Dragon Palace is in the hands of the East China Sea Dragon Palace. Zeng Xin is also a decisive person and immediately made a decision: fight!
A hundred thousand troops set out from the Dragon Palace of the West Sea and rushed towards the Dragon Palace of the East Sea. Along the way, many small forces on the seabed tried to avoid it!
On the coast, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi took a taxi and arrived at Hao Ren's family's seaside villa.
Hao Ren paid the fare and rushed to the villa with Zhao Yanzi.
There were only a few steps from the doorstep to the house, but it still took a few seconds for Hao Ren to take the key and open the door. In these few seconds, the downpour made them soaked to the skin!
"It's so cold! It's so cold!" Zhao Yanzi, who didn't expect a sudden rain today and went to the banquet without wearing too many clothes, shouted.
Bang. Hao Ren finally opened the door.
Zhao Yanzi rushed into the villa, angry and wet, like a little skylark hiding in a nest's nest, fluttering its feathers and stamping its feet.
"Azi is here?" Grandma's kind voice came from the living room.
Hao Ren looked over following his grandma's voice and saw his grandma lying leisurely on the sofa. Xie Yujia, wearing blue polka dots, was holding nail clippers and was carefully repairing her nails.
"Grandma, it's all the bad uncle's fault. I'm all wet!" Zhao Yanzi complained immediately when she saw her grandma.
"Haha..." Grandma couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhao Yanzi's pretty red face, and asked Xie Yujia beside her, "Xiaojia, do you have any clean clothes for Ah Zi?"
"Okay, grandma." Xie Yujia put the nail clippers on the coffee table next to her, then carefully wrapped the cut nails in paper towels, walked into her room, and took out a clean set of pajamas.
"Hmph, hum..." Zhao Yanzi huffed angrily, but this resentment seemed a little weak.
She didn't want to wear Xie Yujia's clothes, but it would obviously be more uncomfortable if she didn't wear Xie Yujia's clothes.
"I'll just change in the room." Xie Yujia said to Zhao Yanzi.
"Hmph, hum..." Zhao Yanzi breathed out from his nostrils, as if this was the only sound that could come out of his nose.
Xie Yujia didn't mind, smiled, walked to the sofa, and continued to repair grandma's nails.
"We are going on an outing tomorrow, so Azi will stay at our house today?" Grandma asked Hao Ren.
"Yes, grandma, but I don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow," Hao Ren said.
"The weather will definitely be good tomorrow." Grandma said comfortingly.
Snap...
Xie Yujia's door suddenly opened, and Zhao Yanzi, wearing Xie Yujia's pajamas, walked out.
Zhao Yanzi's figure is smaller than Xie Yujia's, and her height is also shorter, which is clearly reflected through her clothes. This is what makes Zhao Yanzi most dissatisfied.
Especially Xie Yujia was wearing her own pajamas, with bulging breasts, while Zhao Yanzi was wearing pajamas of the same style and size, which looked plain, which made Zhao Yanzi even more hostile.
"Come on, come on, little Azi, come to grandma!" Grandma waved towards Zhao Yanzi.
No matter whether Zhao Yanzi's figure is good or bad, grandma likes her very much.
Wearing slightly loose pajamas, Zhao Yanzi seemed to be swaying when she walked. She suddenly threw herself into her grandma's arms, covering up the parts of her body that were most likely to contrast with Xie Yujia.
Grandma stroked Zhao Yanzi's hair lovingly and asked Hao Ren, "Why hasn't Smart come back yet?"
"Oh...he should be back with his parents. Azi and I came back early." Hao Ren said.
Ever since Zhen Congming entered their home, grandma regarded Zhen Congming as another grandson of hers and Zhen Congming as her heart and soul. Hao Ren even hesitated to mention Zhen Congming's "unrequited love" to his grandmother.
"This child is just playful. I'll call Zhonghua later and ask them to come back early. It's windy and rainy, so I'm not afraid of delaying things," said grandma.
It was obvious that she missed Zhen Chongming. Unlike Hao Ren, Zhen Chongming went home every night and spent time with her day and night, which caused her grandma's concern for Hao Ren to shift to the more "cute" Zhen Chongming.
"Grandma, all the nails are done." Xie Yujia carefully put away the nail clippers and said to her grandma.
"Hahaha, it looks so beautiful!" Grandma hugged Zhao Yanzi, raised her hands, and admired it for a few seconds.
The skin of her palms is wrinkled, but her nails are trimmed very neatly. It can be seen that Xie Yujia is also perfect in such small things.
"Grandma, it's getting late, I'm going back to rest." Xie Yujia stood up slowly, bowed slightly toward her grandma, and said.
Xie Yujia knew that his qualifications were not as good as Zhao Yanzi's. When he saw Zhao Yanzi's bright eyes today, he knew that Zhao Yanzi had made another breakthrough, and suddenly he felt a deeper sense of crisis.
"Going to bed so early?" Grandma held Xie Yujia's soft palm, a little reluctant.
Today, Xie Yujia cooked for her, watched TV with her, and chatted with her, so that even though Hao Ren and the others had not come back, grandma did not feel any loneliness. Now that Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi are back, Xie Yujia
He immediately hid in the room knowingly, which made grandma feel a little pity.
"There are still some homework to look at." Xie Yujia replied.
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, everyone should go to bed." Grandma stood up from the sofa, patted her clothes, and shouted.
Xie Yujia went to the room to rest, and it was definitely not an option for grandma to pamper Zhao Yanzi alone. As a grandma, of course, she needs a bowl of water, so she simply let them all rest.
"Azi and Yujia, let's sleep together. Grandma has not been sleeping well recently and needs to sleep alone." Grandma continued.
"I..." Zhao Yanzi was very reluctant to share a room with Xie Yujia, but it was hard to refuse in front of her grandma.
"Hehehe..." Grandma smiled and walked along the stair railing to her room.
"I'll sleep with you..." Seeing her grandma enter the room, Zhao Yanzi immediately turned her head and said to Hao Ren.
"Ah..." Hao Ren looked at her with strange eyes.
"A room!" Zhao Yanzi hurriedly added the last half of the sentence.
Xie Yujia shook her head and smiled, then turned and entered her room. It was raining heavily outside today, and it seemed unsafe to go to the fifth level.
You must know that sky thunder is the most dangerous thing to monks, even ordinary rain thunder is the same.
Seeing Xie Yujia enter her room, Hao Ren hesitated for a few seconds and then walked towards the stairs. Zhao Yanzi chased Hao Ren step by step and followed him upstairs.
"I'll give you the room. I'll sleep on the sofa." Hao Ren asked Zhao Yanzi when he walked to the second floor.
"No!" Zhao Yanzi immediately refused.
"Reason?" Hao Ren asked her.
Zhao Yanzi pouted and didn't answer. Hao Ren's house was larger than theirs, and the rooms were bigger. She felt very uncomfortable sleeping alone in such a rainy weather.
But she would not tell Hao Ren about such a reason.
Hao Ren sighed helplessly and opened the door. Zhao Yanzi immediately walked in and opened the window.
The endless black sea surface came into view. The cold air rushed in from the outside, which immediately made Zhao Yanzi shiver all over.
"Is there going to be a war between the East China Sea and the West China Sea?" Zhao Yanzi hurriedly closed the window and asked Hao Ren.
"I'm not very sure either." Hao Ren walked over and pulled up the curtains.
"My mother asked me to stay at your house, there must be something going on." Zhao Yanzi continued.
A slight hint of sadness appeared on her delicate face.
Hao Ren looked at her and realized that she didn't know anything.
"Huh..." Zhao Yanzi took a long breath, threw off his slippers, and got into Hao Ren's bed.
Grandma had dried this quilt for Hao Ren during the day. Now Zhao Yanzi got into it and suddenly felt warm.
Hao Ren looked at her melancholy and helpless expression and suddenly felt a little emotional.
A home of wealth and power is not necessarily full of joy. Zhao Yanzi does all kinds of mischief in front of everyone, but she actually has her own troubles.
She doesn't like Zhao Haoran because she knows that Zhao Haoran will definitely provoke a war. And such a result will inevitably put her parents in danger.
Hao Ren recalled Zhao Hongyu's various attitudes at this moment, and gradually confirmed something - Zhao Hongyu hoped that Zhao Yanzi would become the Hao family's wife, which was actually a way out. The East China Sea Dragon Palace may seem majestic, but it is not an unbreakable iron plate.
The world of immortality has been peaceful for hundreds of years...perhaps one day, Zhao Yanzi will retreat from the dragon and become mortal, become a happy little daughter-in-law, and be able to escape from the center of this whirlpool.
"This... is the 38th line!" Zhao Yanzi, who was hiding in bed, cut a mark on the quilt with his finger and said.
"This..." Hao Ren was about to discuss with her whether to get another quilt, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Hao Ren walked over to open the door and found his grandma standing outside the door who had already changed into pajamas.
Grandma was stunned for a moment when she saw Zhao Yanzi lying on the bed in Hao Ren's room, still patting the bed quilt with her hands.
However, this daze was fleeting, and grandma immediately shouted to Hao Ren, "Your father called just now. There was a landslide outside and they were trapped!"
