Let's ignore him for now. I'll find some time to go to the Lower Three Realms and see exactly what kind of person he is. Right now, our own business is more important.
After saying that, Qin Hao picked up Shen Suning and returned to his courtyard.
...
The next day, Qin Hao was glowing with vitality. He looked in the mirror at his handsome face and couldn't help but sigh,
I've gotten a little more handsome again today.
After finishing his narcissistic moment, Qin Hao left his home and headed toward Qin Kexin's residence.
Qin Kexin's residence.
Inside her room, it was a complete mess.
The bed was piled high with all sorts of clothes, seven or eight pairs of shoes were scattered across the floor, and the dressing table was crammed full of various bottles and jars. There was hardly any room left to step in the entire room.
Qin Kexin stood in front of the mirror holding two dresses, her brows furrowed so tightly they could crush a fly.
This one... is too plain. Will it make me look lifeless?
She held up a light cyan long dress against herself, shook her head, and tossed it aside. Immediately after, she picked up another pink one.
Is this one... too childish? Will Qin Hao laugh at me?
Toss!
She picked up a bright red one.
This one is too flashy. It doesn't seem to suit my vibe...
Toss.
Qin Kexin frantically ruffled her hair.
Ahhh! Which one should I wear?!
Xiaolan stood to the side, looking at the mess in the room, the corners of her mouth twitching uncontrollably. Miss, oh Miss, this is already the thirty-seventh time you've asked yourself that.
From the morning until now, you've changed into no less than twenty outfits. You haven't kept a single one on for more than fifteen minutes before taking it off and continuing to agonize over it.
Isn't it just Lord Qin Hao coming to see you today? Is there a need to be this serious? It's just a meeting, yet you're making such a huge fuss out of it.
Miss, with your beauty, you would look good even wearing the most ordinary sack. Stop stressing over it.
Qin Kexin pouted and continued rummaging through the pile of clothes.
That won't do. This is my first official date with Qin Hao, and I have to leave a good impression on him.
As she spoke, Qin Kexin's hand brushed against a soft piece of fabric. She pulled it out and saw it was an off-white long dress.
The style was simple and elegant, without any complicated decorations. The fabric was excellent, feeling soft and smooth to the touch, with a faint luster.
Qin Kexin took off the clothes she was wearing and changed into this off-white long dress.
The tailoring of the dress was just right, outlining her slender waist. The hem hung down to her ankles, swaying gently with her movements.
Qin Kexin stood in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection.
The off-white dress made her skin look even fairer. She looked gentle and pure, lacking her usual arrogance and instead gaining a bit of approachability.
She twirled lightly, and the hem of the skirt spread out like flower petals.
Xiaolan watched from the side, her eyes going wide.
Miss, you... you look too beautiful!
Qin Kexin blushed slightly.
Really?
Xiaolan nodded vigorously.
Of course! Although this dress is plain, it perfectly complements your aura. It's gentle and elegant, yet noble. It's much better than those flashy ones.
Hearing Xiaolan say this, Qin Kexin decisively chose this dress. But soon, she found herself troubled again over what accessories to wear.
Just as she was at a loss for what jewelry to pick, the door was pushed open. Qin Hao stood at the doorway, looking at her with a smiling face.
Seeing Qin Hao, Qin Kexin instantly panicked and hurriedly said,
Why are you here already?
Hearing this, Qin Hao raised an eyebrow.
Oh, are you complaining that I came too early? Fine, I'll leave right now.
After saying that, Qin Hao lifted his leg, pretending to leave.
Don't go!
Qin Kexin cried out almost subconsciously, her voice laced with panic and urgency.
She didn't even have time to think before rushing forward and grabbing Qin Hao's sleeve.
Qin Hao stopped, turned to look at her, and wore a wicked smirk on his lips.
Hmm? Didn't you think I came too early?
Qin Kexin lowered her head, her face as red as a cooked shrimp.
I, I didn't mean that. I'm just not ready yet.
Hearing this, Qin Hao grabbed Qin Kexin's small hand.
There's nothing to prepare. Even if you don't dress up at all, you still look incredibly beautiful.
Qin Kexin's face grew even redder. Hearing Qin Hao praise her beauty made her heart feel as sweet as honey.
She secretly glanced up at Qin Hao. The sunlight spilled across his profile, highlighting his handsome features. She found herself liking him more and more, especially that wicked smirk on his lips.
Do I look good? Noticing Qin Kexin's gaze, Qin Hao asked with a smile.
Qin Kexin quickly turned her face away and hurriedly said,
I-I wasn't peeking.
The smile on Qin Hao's face deepened. He tightened his grip on Qin Kexin's small hand. Hmm, so smooth and tender.
Let's go. For the rest of the day, I'll take you out to have some fun.
Qin Hao took Qin Kexin to the Qin family's ranch, where all kinds of spirit beasts were raised.
Qin Hao selected a tall Wind-Chasing Foal, lifted Qin Kexin onto it, and then vaulted up himself, wrapping his arms around her from behind.
The two rode the horse across the prairie. The whistling wind rushed past their ears, and green grass blurred beneath their feet.
Qin Hao rode with Qin Kexin, galloping deep into the prairie.
After riding for a while, a lake appeared before them.
The lake water was crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. It was so beautiful it seemed otherworldly. The lakeside was blooming with colorful wildflowers, and as the breeze blew, waves of floral fragrance filled the air.
This... this is too beautiful. I didn't even know the Qin family had a place like this.
Qin Hao chuckled, After all, you slumbered for so long and only recently woke up. So much time has passed, there are many things in the family you don't know about.
Qin Hao pulled Qin Kexin to sit down by the lake. Do you like it?
Qin Kexin nodded vigorously.
I like it!
Qin Hao looked at her, his gaze gentle.
I'm glad you like it.
The two sat by the lake like that, watching the sun slowly set in the west, dyeing the lake water a golden red.
Although the scenery was beautiful, in Qin Kexin's eyes, even the most beautiful scenery couldn't compare to a ten-thousandth of the person beside her.
Noticing Qin Kexin's gaze, Qin Hao leaned closer to her.
If you want to lean, just lean on me. My shoulder is yours to use.
Hearing this, Qin Kexin's small face flushed red, but she didn't refuse, gently resting her head on his shoulder.
Qin Hao, thank you.
Qin Hao turned his head to look at her. Thank me for what?
A happy smile graced the corners of Qin Kexin's mouth.
Thank you for bursting into my world and letting me know that life can be this beautiful.
Qin Hao reached out and wrapped his arm around Qin Kexin's shoulder.
It is beautiful, isn't it? Every day from now on will be just as beautiful.
At these words, Qin Kexin's eyes immediately lit up.
Really? Does that mean I can become your official partner in the future?
Qin Kexin now understood what the rented Dao companion arrangement was all about. Qin Hao approached her to obtain her luck based on her evaluation after the order ended, and then the relationship between them would be over.
But Qin Hao had just said that every day from now on would be this wonderful. Did this mean she actually had a chance to become his real girlfriend? Even after the order expired, she could still maintain her current relationship with him.
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
