Shen Suning's hand, which was feeding Qin Hao, paused. She frowned, glanced outside the courtyard, and whispered, "Haohao, someone is looking for you outside."
Qin Hao chuckled lightly. He had already sensed Qin Kexin's arrival through his divine sense. "Let her wait outside. I'm not someone she can see just because she wants to."
Saying that, Qin Hao pinched Shen Suning's soft, tender cheek. He couldn't help but think to himself that across the entire Three Realms and Nine Heavens, it would be hard to find a second person who could work in the rented Dao companion industry with as much dignity as him.
...
Outside the courtyard, Qin Kexin was locked in a battle of wits and courage with Ah Long and Ah Hu, trying to slip past their guard and into the courtyard.
However, Ah Long and Ah Hu were both Immortal Lord-level almighty experts carefully selected by Qin Wuya. Unless an Immortal King emerged, the two of them were nearly invincible when joining forces, let alone against a minor cultivator in the Body Integration Realm like Qin Kexin.
After failing time and time again, Qin Kexin broke down. She couldn't help but shout toward the inside of the courtyard, "Qin Hao! Get out here!"
Just as Qin Kexin thought this call would go completely unanswered like the previous ones, Qin Hao's magnetic voice sounded behind her. "Isn't this our esteemed Miss Qin Kexin? Why do you look so disheveled? You couldn't possibly be here to look for me, could you?"
Hearing this voice, Qin Kexin whipped around.
Qin Hao stood with his hands behind his back, a half-smile playing on his lips as he looked at her with great interest.
Qin Hao's features were already extraordinarily handsome, and now, dressed in white and illuminated by the moonlight, he looked like a banished immortal stepping out of a painting.
At her first glance at Qin Hao, Qin Kexin was completely stunned.
Qin Hao reached out a finger and tilted Qin Kexin's chin up. "Oh, what's with this expression? What, did you miss me?"
The moment Qin Hao hooked her chin, Qin Kexin froze entirely.
Qin Hao's finger clearly wasn't hot, but she felt as if it were a red-hot branding iron, scalding her so much that her whole body trembled.
Looking up into Qin Hao's eyes, Qin Kexin felt her heart skip a beat.
Seeing that punchable smile slowly form on Qin Hao's lips, Qin Kexin finally snapped back to her senses. She slapped Qin Hao's hand away and coldly snorted, "Qin Hao, stop flattering yourself! Who missed you? This lady is here to demand justice."
Qin Hao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? Demand justice?"
Qin Kexin took a deep breath, raised her chin, and tried her best to look righteous and confident. "That's right! This lady is here to demand justice on behalf of those ancient prodigies!"
"The qualifications for the secret realm naturally belong to the capable. Therefore, giving them to us ancient prodigies is the most reasonable choice. Giving them to those modern-day weaklings is a complete waste!"
"As a member of the Qin family, this lady naturally cannot just sit by and watch this happen."
After hearing this, Qin Hao didn't speak. He just quietly looked at Qin Kexin.
Qin Kexin felt a chill in her heart under Qin Hao's gaze, but she forced herself to hold her ground and refused to show weakness. "What? Is what I said not the truth?"
Hearing this, Qin Hao smiled. It was a beautiful smile, so beautiful that it made Qin Kexin's heart skip another beat.
"You're right. It belongs to the capable. They are no match for me, so these qualifications belong to me. Since they are my belongings, I can give them to whoever I want."
Qin Kexin was so choked up by Qin Hao's words that she couldn't speak.
It sounded like there was nothing wrong with that logic.
No, how did this lady end up being led by the nose by him? Hmph, it seems I have to show him a thing or two!
Qin Kexin raised her chin in an arrogant posture. "Fine, you say it belongs to the capable, right? Then today, this lady will let you see what a truly capable person is!"
Qin Kexin made up her mind. Today, she absolutely had to teach Qin Hao a good lesson and make him see her strength.
Maybe afterward, he would eagerly try to curry favor with her, please her, and come looking for her every day—
Thinking of this, Qin Kexin unconsciously revealed a silly smile.
"What are you smiling like an idiot for?"
Qin Hao's words snapped Qin Kexin back to her senses. She composed herself and put on an awe-inspiringly righteous look. "You're the idiot. Today, I'm going to teach you, a guy with no respect for his elders, a lesson!"
With that said, spiritual energy surged around Qin Kexin, and the oppressive aura of the Body Integration Realm was instantly unleashed.
Under the moonlight, her clothes fluttered without any wind, and her long hair danced in the air, truly displaying the demeanor of a peerless prodigy.
Seeing this, Qin Hao chuckled and shook his head. "Such insignificant tricks, yet you dare to show off before an expert."
"Dual Pupils, open!"
The moment Qin Hao's Dual Pupils opened, Qin Kexin felt the world before her eyes completely change.
Qin Hao's eyes seemed to transform into two vast starry skies, or perhaps two bottomless abysses.
Within them, stars were born and destroyed, the sun and moon cycled, the eternal night stretched on, and primordial chaos first opened.
With just one glance, Qin Kexin felt as if she had been immobilized by something.
Her spiritual energy and her divine sense were completely locked down the moment those eyes opened, leaving her unable to move.
Qin Kexin felt that in front of these eyes, all her disguises and secrets had nowhere to hide. She had no doubt that as long as Qin Hao wished it, with just a single thought, her divine soul would shatter, and everything about her would be reduced to nothingness.
Fear, a fear originating from the very depths of her soul, enveloped Qin Kexin entirely.
"Are these... really the Dual Pupils?"
Qin Kexin trembled incessantly. It wasn't that she had never dealt with Dual Pupil wielders before, but Qin Hao's Dual Pupils were different from any she had ever seen. This oppressive might was far beyond what other Dual Pupil wielders could bring upon her.
In front of these eyes, she felt incredibly insignificant, as insignificant as a speck of dust.
Before Qin Kexin even had time to speak, she felt a tightness around her waist.
Qin Hao scooped her up by the waist, laid her across his lap, and brought his palm down on her perky rear.
"Ah—!"
"What are you doing?"
Qin Kexin struggled desperately, but Qin Hao's hands were like iron bands. No matter how she thrashed, she couldn't break free.
Qin Kexin completely froze, and then an indescribable sense of shame surged into her heart.
This bastard, he actually dared to hit her!
"Are you still going to demand justice?"
Qin Kexin gritted her teeth and didn't speak.
"Speak! Are you still going to demand justice?"
Qin Kexin was so ashamed that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Speak! Are you ever going to dare to act like my elder in front of me again?"
"Speak! Are you ever going to dare to throw your weight around in front of me again?"
Qin Kexin couldn't break free no matter how she struggled, and looking at Qin Hao's demeanor, if she didn't yield, he would just keep spanking her.
"I'm not demanding it anymore. I'm a piece of trash, I'll never dare to throw my weight around again."
"Brother, you are the brother, good brother, please spare me. I'll never dare to do it again. You are the elder, you are the elder!"
Qin Kexin begged for mercy. She felt her face burning hot. This feeling of pain mixed with immense shame made her wish she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Great. She had originally wanted to come to Qin Hao's place to show her face, but who would have thought she'd end up showing her rear instead.
