Chapter 469: Rare Beauty

Well... Hao Ren choked.

Looking at Su Han's beautiful figure, he suddenly realized that Su Han dressed up to visit his home today!

The longsword shot into the sea and split waves.

While the red energy sphere broke, Su Han withdrew her sword, and the two of them stood on the beach.

Her movements were so smooth that it looked like she had just come to the beach after surfing on the waves.

"Are you really going to my home?" Hao Ren looked at her hesitantly.

Su Han smiled at him as a response and walked directly toward the house.

In the past when Hao Ren was only her assisting inspector, Su Han had no interest in his family matter. However, now that Hao Ren was a level 3 inspector and her partner at East Ocean City, she felt it was necessary to know his full background.

Following her closely, Hao Ren knew he couldn't stop her from visiting his home.

"Little Xue, you can't bully Congming," Grandma's voice sounded when Hao Ren went to the door and took out the key.

Click! Hao Ren opened the door and saw Zhen Congming and Wu Luoxue each having a controller in hand on the sofa, playing games in front of the TV screen.

Gazing at the screen attentively, Zhen Congming curled his lips and scratched his head while his fingers moved quickly on the buttons.

However, Wu Luoxue looked as casual as before while her fingers pressed the buttons at ease.

"Ahhh..." Frustrated, Zhen Congming threw down the controller; it was obvious that he lost again.

Wu Luoxue picked up a cup of green tea by her side and sipped, looking calmly at Zhen Congming. "More?"

"Change the game! Change the game!" Zhen Congming yelled.

Looking at them, Hao Ren suddenly remembered that they were also on summer break.

"Ren, are you back?" Hearing the door opened, Grandma called out.

When seeing Su Han behind Hao Ren, she looked pleasantly surprised. "Well, Han is here as well?"

Embarrassed, Hao Ren wished Grandma didn't address Su Han so intimately.

"Grandma, how are you?" Su Han walked in with an umbrella in one hand and a fruit basket in the other. "I came to return the umbrella to you. Thank you very much."

Hao Ren looked at Su Han in astonishment, wondering when she got those things from.

"It was just an umbrella! Well, you even bought me fruits!" Grandma stood up from the sofa and took Su Han's hand in hers warmly. "In the future, just come and visit me and don't buy anything!"

"It's nothing." Su Han smiled lightly.

Hao Ren looked at Su Han in surprise; he suddenly felt like she wasn't bad at socializing.

"Zhonghua! Yue Yang! Stop your work! We have a guest!" Grandma called out in a loud voice.

Her voice was so resonant that she didn't sound like an old lady over the age of 70.

Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua, who had been doing their quarterly report, immediately walked down from the second floor.

Hao Ren was even more nervous at the upheaval they caused...

"Oh, it's Ms. Su," Seeing Su Han, Hao Zhonghua greeted her politely, remembering that she was a teacher from East Ocean University.

Su Han nodded slightly.

"Han is a university teacher?" Grandma asked.

"Mom, she's a teacher at East Ocean University," Hao Zhonghua explained patiently.

Grandma hadn't pay much attention to Su Han when they first met, but she felt like this girl was nice afterward.

"Oh, you're a teacher at Ren's school? Then, you must be here for a home visit, right?" Grandma was immediately cautious. "Ms. Su, come and have a seat! Zhonghua, hurry up and make tea for the teacher!"

Due to her respect for teachers, Grandma called Su Han 'Ms. Su', and her expression turned serious.

"You are so kind to bring present when you are paying us a home visit. Our Ren hasn't had teachers visiting our home since he was in middle school. Ms. Su, please take a seat!" Grandma urged.

Instantly, Su Han got nervous, and Grandma broke her composure.

She said hurriedly, "No, I'm just a university lecturer, and I'm not here for a home visit."

"Not a home visit..." Grandma relaxed. "I thought our Ren caused trouble at school again."

Standing by Su Han, Hao Ren's face turned red out of embarrassment. Although he had indeed caused trouble in his elementary school and middle school days, that was a long time ago!

"Ms. Su, please have some tea." Hao Zhonghua walked over with a cup of tea and placed it before Su Han.

"Thank you." Su Han took the cup. "But you can just call me Han."

"Zhonghua!" Grandma scolded, "Han is close to us; don't make it so formal!"

Embarrassed, Hao Zhonghua stood to one side, thinking, "It was you who acted so serious and formal just a moment ago."

He didn't know that Grandma had grouped Su Han into her camp with her words.

"No wonder!" Grandma looked at Su Han happily and sat with her on the sofa. "I see that you are not much older than Ren. You just graduated, right?"

"Yeah. I just graduated and stayed in the school to be a teacher," Su Han said.

"Then, you must have been an excellent student." Grandma picked up Su Han's small hand genially. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Ugh..." Hao Ren had been drinking water, and he almost choked at Grandma's question.

"Not yet."

Hearing Su Han's answer, Hao Ren almost spat out the water again.

"Very well. Grandma will watch out for you and introduce a good young man to you!" Grandma looked at Su Han and said with a smile.

Hao Ren thought, "Grandma, you stay home all day. Where can you find a young man for Su Han?"

At this thought, his heart lurched; he felt like he understood something...

"I heard that Mr. Hao is working on a project to find dragons, right?" Su Han suddenly turned her head to look at Hao Zhonghua.

"Right." Hao Zhonghua sat on the sofa on the side and nodded.

Since Su Han was their guest, he must keep her company, not to mention that they had met each other before. Yue Yang sat beside Hao Zhonghua and observed Su Han.

With a woman's instinct, she felt like Su Han had other reasons for visiting their home.

However, she was very beautiful, wearing a pearl necklace and a sapphire one-piece dress...

Yue Yang was attracted by her elegance unconsciously.

"Did you have any progress recently?" Su Han continued to ask.

"Hehe, no progress yet. However, if the project is successful, we'll make a discovery that will shake the whole world," Hao Zhonghua said.

Sitting on the other side of Grandma, Hao Ren listened to their conversation attentively. He suddenly thought about Su Han's identity as an inspector and one of the Dragon God Shrine's missions where it was to destroy the spirit stone...

"Is my dad one of the key targets of surveillance of the Dragon God Shrine due to his large-scale scientific project?"

At this moment, Su Han changed the subject and asked, "Grandma, do you believe that there are dragons in the world?"

"Of course!" Grandma perked up immediately. "I saw one! Girl, you may be doubtful, but I saw a dragon flying in the sky when I worked in the fields as a young girl!

"It was a summer day with great winds, and thunder cracked constantly. Some girls and I were working in the fields and saw that a storm was coming. As we hurried to find shelter, I saw a huge, huge dragon flying from the east to the west. However, only I saw it, and the others were busy looking for shelter and didn't see it. When I told them, they didn't believe me at all."

Grandma described the scene vividly.

Hao Zhonghua had heard it several times before and hadn't believed it until he saw a white dragon himself. Since then, he had never debunked Grandma's story.

However, Yue Yang shook her head helplessly when she heard Grandma repeating this same old story. She didn't believe that such mythical creatures existed since no one had such pictures or caught such creatures. The photos that circulated on the internet were all proved to be fake.

Anyway, she didn't object when Hao Zhonghua insisted on establishing a scientific project to find dragons, thinking that they might find some near-extinct creatures or even species they had never discovered before.

"Then... Grandma, do you believe that there are dragon kings?" Su Han continued to ask.

She looked at Grandma's teacup, and her pupil contracted a little when she saw a small piece of blood ginseng in the tea.

Blood ginsengs were rare spiritual herbs, and experienced cultivators knew that they were great at replenishing essences. This type of blood ginseng only grew in Yuhuang Mountain under heavy guard.

Grandma picked up the white teacup and sipped to moisturize her throat. "I believe there are dragon kings! The good climate in our East Ocean City is due to the blessing of the East Ocean Dragon King!"

Yue Yang sighed slightly but didn't try to change Grandma's old ideas. She had some unpleasant arguments with Grandma before, and Grandma had some issue with her because of it even now.

"Grandma, since you believe in dragons, do you think in demons as well?" Su Han asked with a smile, looking interested in this topic.

"Demons?" Grandma froze for a second since she had never thought about it. She saw a dragon in her youth, but she had never seen a demon.

When she was young, Grandma had asked the old people in the village, and they all said that there were indeed dragons, and some of them even insisted that they had seen dragons themselves.

However, no one had seen demons, except in stories.

"If there are dragon kings, I think there should be demon kings too, right?" Su Han looked at Grandma and asked lightly.

Hao Ren looked from Grandma's wrinkled face toward Su Han, not understanding the deeper meaning behind her words.

Su Han also turned her eyes to Hao Ren and met his gaze.

Su Han recalled Hao Ren's vicious look when he beat Black Wolf.

By visiting Grandma, she wanted to have a look at Hao Ren's family that he worked so hard to protect.

Remembering Hao Ren's look when he continued to beat Black Wolf despite the wounds all over his body, she suddenly felt like it would be fortunate to be protected by Hao Ren.

"Demon kings... I don't know. It's possible," Grandma said after a moment of consideration.
