suddenly flashed through her mind.Even 郝仁 himself didn't realize that he had smiled so gently at Zhao Yanzi just now. He entered the main hall and looked up at the imposing statues of the Three Pure...Chapter 664: Catch a Dragon

"Young Master, go back to change your clothes," the Lu sisters stood beside Hao Ren and softly called out.

"Hmm" Hao Ren looked down at himself and saw that he was only wearing a black robe, with his muscles exposed due to the cold wind.

Coughing loudly, Hao Ren coughed twice to block the Lu sisters' gazes, tightened the belt around his waist, and then flew towards the seaside villa.

Duan Yao stood dumbfounded at the shore; Hao Ren picked her up and carried her as if she were a chick back to the small garden of the villa.

The sea waves surged, causing seawater to flood into the garden, destroying many plants. The living room on the ground floor was also filled with water.

"Grandma! Grandma!" Hao Ren shouted when he returned inside the house.

At this moment, he didn't worry about anything else but feared that his grandmother might be frightened by what just happened since she was quite old and could not handle being scared easily.

Xie Yujia and Zhao Zanvi were relieved to see Hao Ren unharmed and hurriedly followed him back inside the house.

"Hao Ren... Hao Ren..." Grandma touched the banister as she came down from upstairs.

When the sea suddenly calmed, Grandma hurried to check in Hao Ren's room but found that his window was broken, and the room was empty. She became extremely worried.

The sight of a dragon was exciting, but where had her grandson gone...

"Grandma, I'm here!" Hao Ren ran towards the stairs through the water in the living room.

Water filled the house like it was hit by a flood. All lights went out due to short circuits, leaving the room dark as pitch.

Grandma felt Hao Ren's face with the moonlight and heaved a sigh of relief before quickly asking, "Little Zanvi and Little Yujia Are they okay"

"They're here! They're here!" Xie Yujia and Zhao Zanvi behind Hao Ren answered in unison.

Grandma then asked, "Is Clever okay"

Xie Yujia paused for a moment before rushing through the water to check on Chen Cunming. She found him lying on his back fast asleep!

"Clever is fine!" Xie Yujia replied after closing the door.

She didn't know that every full moon was when it was easiest for demons and beasts to advance in rank, but also when they were most vulnerable. This cycle couldn’t be avoided even by one of the Dragon Ancestors, Qiuniu. Every thousand years, Qiuniu's cultivation level would drop sharply around the Mid-Autumn Festival period, which should have happened on the 25th day of the eighth lunar month based on Empress Zhen’s calculations.

"I'm glad everyone is fine..." Grandma patted her chest. "Is Yao'er okay And what about Linlin and Lily"

Everyone was actually inside the house but due to darkness, Grandma couldn't see them clearly so she asked one by one.

"We're here! We're here!" Lu L琳琳和陸莉莉揮手回答道。

站在陸家姐妹後麵的段瑤咬了咬牙，不太情願地回答了一聲，“在！”

"Ah... it's fine..." Grandma tugged at Hao Ren's arm, "Arin, guess what Grandma saw just now!"

She was a little worried when she found Hao Ren wasn't in his room. Now that she had seen him, she assumed he rushed downstairs to save the young girls and never thought about White Dragon being Hao Ren’s manifestation.

"What did you see" Hao Ren asked her.

“A dragon!” Grandma exclaimed excitedly, "This is the second time I saw a dragon! A little white dragon fought with three evil dragons. It was so fierce!"

Hao Ren helplessly looked at his grandma who wasn't afraid at all and seemed to be as excited as a child. In comparison, Grandma didn’t care about the house flooding or the electrical appliances being damaged.

"Arin, did you see the dragon" Hao Zhonghua followed down the stairs and asked Hao Ren.

“I...” Hao Ren hesitated for half a second. "At first, I thought it was an earthquake. Then water rushed in suddenly. So I came downstairs to look after Yu Jia and her friends, but didn’t see anything.”

Duan Yao standing behind Hao Ren pouted. She knew Hao Ren’s identity, but there was no need for her to expose him.

“You also didn’t see it...” Hao Zhonghua felt somewhat disappointed, “Your mom said she saw nothing too, is it just me and your grandma who saw the dragon”

He was rather depressed. He clearly saw a group of dragons fighting in the sky, but Yu’e insisted that she didn’t see anything except for the sudden wind gathering clouds above the sea and subsequent tremor causing waves to surge; fortunately there wasn’t any tsunami.

"Don't mind her! Those who are destined can only see it!" Grandma suddenly said indignantly.

Yu’e was a staunch anti-mysticist. She wouldn’t deduce the truth from hearsay without seeing or touching something with her own eyes, hence she insisted that both Hao Zhonghua and his grandma were hallucinating or mistaking the light reflection off the moonlit sea as dragons.

This made Grandma furious and called Yu’e an “old stubborn”. Yu’e was stifled by Grandma’s attitude. She believed in facts and didn’t call Grandma a stubborn old woman, but ended up being called one herself...

They three argued for a while inside the room, which allowed Hao Ren to return to the villa. Grandma wanted to prove that what she had said before was true; Hao Zhonghua wanted to verify the truth of the matter, and Yu’e got mad at him because he didn’t use the scientific method.

Hearing his grandma’s words, Hao Ren felt a little puzzled too: Dad and Grandma could see the dragon, why can't Mom Is it really only people with some sort of connection that can see them...

Hao Zhonghua was depressed. For now, there wasn’t much progress in his quest for dragons; he had collected unreliable clues so far. This time he truly saw flying dragons, but Yu’e wouldn’t acknowledge their existence.

If according to Grandma’s words, one could only see the dragon if they were destined, then his research project would be as good as a江湖騙子’s (a fraudster's)...

"We also seem to have seen something, but not very clearly," The Lu sisters said when seeing Hao Zhonghua’s gloomy face.

Hao Zhonghua nodded. His elation turned into disappointment. It seemed that without catching a live dragon or obtaining an authentic specimen of a dragon, there was no way to convince them; even photos and videos could be deemed fabrications.

But to catch a dragon would be incredibly difficult! Dragons were elusive, it was already considered fate merely to see one let alone capture one!

Moreover, how was he supposed to catch a dragon With what power

Hao Zhonghua’s expression became dejected at this thought. "It was probably just an illusion. Don’t think too much about it and get some rest."

"Zhonghua, seeing the real dragon is a blessing. Cheer up!" Grandma patted Hao Zhonghua on the back.

Hao Ren knew his grandma wouldn’t even consider catching a dragon; that was tantamount to inviting divine retribution!

"Xiaoyao, go rest in my room. Linlin, Lili, Ah Zi, and Yu Jia, help me drain the water,"郝仁 said.

The living room was already flooded up to their ankles. If they didn’t quickly get rid of the water, items like the sofa and fridge would be ruined if left submerged.

If he treated 謝雨嘉 and others as outsiders, 郝仁 wouldn't ask them for help, but since he considered them family, he didn’t hesitate to let them assist him.

段瑤 looked at 郝仁. She had just regained her Core Formation Realm cultivation level and was trying to solidify it. So she went upstairs into his room via the staircase.

"I’ll come too!"郝中華 rolled up his pajama pants and stepped into the water in the living room.

Yue Yang, who had been listening on the stairs, came down with a thud. She took off her slippers and picked up a large basin.

A little while ago, when 郝中華 told her that he saw hundreds of dragons, she thought it was absurd and they ended up arguing a bit. But as a mother, she couldn't just sit idly by in this situation.

Seeing Yue Yang offer to help,郝中華 remembered their argument and felt somewhat guilty. He smiled and walked over to give her an extra jacket.

"Humph!" Yue Yang’s expression still held a hint of displeasure as she slapped 郝中華's chest with her palm before bending down to pick up various small objects floating in the water.

If 郝中華 said he saw one dragon, she might have believed him. But when he vividly described seeing a white dragon, three golden dragons and hundreds of black dragons, it seemed like he was telling a story; how could she believe such outlandish claims

Laughing,郝中華 approached Yue Yang, scooped up items from the water to put in the basin. Recalling when they were poor and their home would flood during heavy rains, 郝中華 felt guilty for arguing with her about his quest.

Seeing that 郝中華's attitude had softened a bit, Yue Yang’s expression also relaxed somewhat. Over the years, she knew that he was tough on the inside despite being soft on the outside; once he set his mind to something, no one could change it. She would support him with her heart even though their quest drew ridicule from others.

The moonlight filtered through the windows onto the water in the room, creating shimmering silver ripples that looked like walking along a little stream, surprisingly romantic.

Seeing the affectionate glances exchanged between 郝中華 and Yue Yang, 謝雨嘉 couldn’t help but feel envious.

She would rather be a humble wife than an immortal. While she was glad that 郝仁 had become stronger, if he were to remain powerless yet lead a peaceful life, she would still accept it happily.

"Chirp chirp… chirp chirp…" Xiaobai darted between 謝雨嘉’s legs, treating the living room like an indoor swimming pool. He joyfully swam around the sofa and kitchen.

“You damn dog!” 郝仁 caught Xiaobai as it swam by and smacked its forehead hard.

郝中華 opened both front and back doors to let water out. Zhao Yanzi and Lu sisters used small basins to scoop up the water, which Yue Yang passed to 郝仁 who poured it outside.

Bending over, 謝雨嘉 wiped the floor dry with a cloth; this was hard work that made her sweat profusely but she did not complain at all.

How wonderful…看著客廳裡的女孩們和郝仁齊心協力，郝中華不禁感慨萬千。

趙焰紫雖然嬌弱一些，但非常努力；將來肯定是個懂事的小妻子；謝雨嘉就更不用說了，家務樣樣精通不怕苦不怕累；陸琳琳和陸莉莉，從出生起就跟在郝仁身邊，有什麼事情都搶著做。

以前的老房子裡進水的時候，郝中華帶著隻有幾歲大的郝仁拚命把貴重的東西往高處挪，再把不斷湧入的水往外倒，苦不堪言。

但現在被海水浸泡的房子，在短短半小時內就打掃得差不多乾淨了。

The place was lively now. A family that used to be quiet and uneventful had become bustling.

Hao Zhonghua suddenly understood his grandmother’s state of mind.

"Zhonghua, what is this" Yue Yang suddenly tapped Hao Zhonghua.

She was holding a golden round piece about the size of her palm and looked somewhat puzzled. When the seawater rushed in, it knocked over some decorative cabinets in the living room, causing various trinkets to fall out. However, she didn’t recall purchasing this particular item, so she wanted to ask Hao Zhonghua where it should be placed.

"This…," Hao Zhonghua looked at the round piece in Yue Yang's hand with a puzzled expression and picked it up to look at it against the window.

In the faint moonlight, the golden disc emitted a pale gold glow, resembling a shell but extremely smooth.

Beep!

A thought suddenly flashed through Hao Zhonghua's mind.

Dragon scale! Could this be dragon scales

Seeing that Harker and the others were still diligently cleaning up in the kitchen, Hao Zhonghua placed the golden disc into his pajama pocket. "Oh, it’s just a trinket. I bought it casually last time when sending Smart to school."

Yue Yang took him at his word without probing further and continued sorting out other small items.

Hao Zhonghua felt a bit anxious; he wasn’t sure if this object was related to dragons, but he knew it certainly didn't belong to their household. It must have come in with the seawater.

As a biologist who specialized particularly in marine life, when he saw this golden disc-like item, he felt that there might be some connection to an ocean creature.

Yue Yang did not believe dragons existed from the bottom of her heart and only supported his research projects. But Hao Zhonghua didn’t care about competing with others outside but was eager to prove a point to his wife.

Yue Yang, wait until I prove that dragons exist and see what expression you'll wear!

"Alright, it’s late now. We can tidy up the rest tomorrow," Hao Zhonghua said.

The water in their home had been completely drained out. Power supply hadn’t returned yet, so they needed to wait for property management to come and repair it the next day. As for damp items, they would need to take them outside to dry tomorrow.

Harker and the others placed all the wet porcelain bowls from the storage cabinet on a table; everyone felt tired after the effort of cleaning up. Due to the seawater intrusion, all the leftover packaged food near the refrigerator had been swept away with the garbage, so no one could imagine that Suo Yao had ever indulged in feasting in their kitchen.

The grandmother had already returned to her room for sleep; Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang also retired to their bedroom. The first-floor Xia Yujia's room was severely flooded, obviously unable to sleep there anymore, so they all went up to the second floor with Harker.

In Harker’s room on the second floor, Suo Yao had curled up in her blanket and was already asleep.

She had been startled by being captured by a ferocious Golden Dragon cultivator. Due to her cultivation level spontaneously returning to the Foundation Establishment stage, she felt inexplicably exhausted after practicing for some time and fell asleep immediately.

The little white dog, after frolicking in the living room for half an hour, was wagging its wet fur along with them into Harker’s bedroom.

Harker grabbed it by the neck and threw it out of the room before closing the door. He suddenly realized… that there were now only women in his room besides him...willing to follow him, Hao Ren didn't hesitate but led the way first.Initially, Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi walked behind him. However, as time passed, each of them moved to walk beside him.The sun had a...
