Qin Hao looked at Qin Kexin's sparkling eyes, which were filled with anticipation and apprehension.
He reached out and gently pinched her cheek: "It depends on your performance."
Hearing this, a dazzling light burst from Qin Kexin's eyes: "I will work hard!"
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled over the lake, the sparkling ripples creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Qin Kexin leaned on Qin Hao's shoulder, a happy smile gracing the corners of her lips.
"Qin Hao~"
"What is it?"
"Qin Hao~"
"I'm here."
"Qin Hao~"
"What exactly do you want?"
Qin Kexin rubbed her head against Qin Hao's shoulder: "Hehe, nothing really, I just wanted to call your name."
......
The next day, Qin Kexin took the initiative to find Qin Hao.
The two flew through the air, the wind whistling past their ears. Qin Kexin's long hair danced in the wind. She looked down at the mountains and rivers flashing by beneath their feet, and then at the man beside her who was holding her hand tightly, an indescribable feeling welling up in her heart.
Qin Kexin brought Qin Hao to a mountain peak.
This peak was not high, but it offered an excellent view. Looking out, rolling mountains were shrouded in lingering clouds and mist, resembling a fairyland.
Qin Hao was momentarily mesmerized by the sight.
"Where is this?"
Qin Kexin pulled Qin Hao to sit down on a giant boulder.
"This is where I used to cultivate. Occasionally, when I got tired, I would stand up and enjoy the scenery."
Qin Hao looked around. The mountain peak was secluded and tranquil, rich in spiritual energy; it was indeed a good place.
"Qin Hao~"
"Hmm?" Qin Hao turned his head to look at Qin Kexin.
Qin Kexin looked at Qin Hao seriously and asked:
"Do you know why I brought you here?"
Qin Hao shook his head. Qin Kexin slowly closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly:
"Because, I want to share everything I like with you."
Qin Hao was slightly taken aback. He looked at Qin Kexin, a warm current rising in his heart.
"This girl is not only tsundere, but she's also quite good at sweet-talking."
The two smiled at each other. The sunlight spilled over them, warm and bright.
A month passed by in the blink of an eye.
During this month, the two walked countless mountain paths and watched the sunrise and sunset seven or eight times.
They said countless silly things together, and also kissed countless times.
Today was the day their rental period ended.
Qin Hao accompanied Qin Kexin for a stroll in a sea of flowers. He tilted his head to look at her, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curling up:
"Kexin, the month is up, it's time to give a rating."
Qin Kexin skipped in front of Qin Hao, her hands behind her back, tilting her head to look at him:
"Oh? A rating..."
She deliberately dragged out her voice, a sly gleam flashing in her eyes.
Qin Hao raised an eyebrow, a vague sense of unease arising in his heart:
"What? Is there a problem? You should be giving a good rating, right?"
Qin Kexin nodded and said unhurriedly:
"A good rating is of course no problem. However, I think that one star is a good rating, and ten stars is also a good rating. As for exactly what kind of good rating I give you, well, that will depend on your performance."
Saying so, Qin Kexin dangled the jade pendant in her hand, her eyes full of playfulness.
Qin Hao was completely stunned. Wait, this tone, and the content of these words, why did they sound so familiar?
"Oh? How interesting, using my own words against me?"
Qin Hao looked at Qin Kexin's little fox-like appearance, suddenly grabbed her hand, and pulled her forcefully in front of him.
"Since when did you learn to threaten people?"
Crashing abruptly into Qin Hao's embrace, Qin Kexin's face was full of bashfulness. She lowered her head with a blushing face and murmured softly:
"Who, who threatened you? This past month, you've touched me and kissed me, you can't just take all the benefits for yourself. I just want to become your official partner. As long as you make it official, I'll immediately offer up a ten-star rating."
Qin Hao looked down at the blushing, softly muttering girl in his arms. His heart melted completely, but his face remained impassive. Instead, he revealed a somewhat playful smile:
"Oh? Make it official? Then tell me, what benefits will you give me after we become official?"
Qin Kexin froze for a moment, then lowered her head, blushing as she spoke:
"Benefits? I... my whole person will be yours. I'll do whatever you ask me to do. If you tell me to go east, I'll never go west."
Qin Hao held Qin Kexin's hand, brought it to his lips, and kissed it:
"Make it official? Granted!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Kexin jumped up excitedly, hugged Qin Hao tightly, and then planted a firm kiss on his cheek.
"Haha, then I'll give you a ten-star rating right now!"
[Ding, the Dao Companion Rental Service has concluded.]
[Calculating...]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving a ten-star rating.]
[Reward obtained: One measure of Destiny. Ten-star rating reward: Divine Blade of Time (Supreme Dao Weapon).]
[Divine Blade of Time: One strike ages a person. It can extract the opponent's life essence by continuously inflicting damage.]
After receiving the system's notification, Qin Hao's eyes lit up. The rating reward this time was quite good. A Supreme Dao Weapon, the Divine Blade of Time, could directly extract life essence.
The Nine Tribulations Sword still needed to evolve to become a Supreme Dao Weapon, but this was a Supreme Dao Weapon right off the bat. Moreover, its effects were quite impressive.
"As long as I have this blade, doesn't it mean that no matter how powerful someone is, they'll all have a health bar in front of me."
"What are you smiling at?" Qin Kexin looked at Qin Hao with a curious face. Seeing him smile, she couldn't help but guess: Could it be because he can now be openly together with her, without having to carry the title of a rented Dao companion?
"I'm smiling because of you, of course. You've given me a massive surprise." Qin Hao smiled brightly. Other than Qingyue at the very beginning, only Qin Kexin had dropped a Supreme Dao Weapon. Not bad, it wasn't a waste of his time accompanying her to tour the mountains and waters for the past month.
[Ding, the next order is expected to arrive in two months. Please be ready to receive it, host.]
Qin Hao nodded. Two months? That was perfect. He could take advantage of these two months to overcome his Mortal Tribulation and break through to the Body Integration Realm in one fell swoop!
Qin Hao took Qin Kexin and rode the clouds back to his courtyard. Along the way, he was in a rather good mood. This time, not only did he gain Qin Kexin, a tsundere and cute girl, but he also obtained a Supreme Dao Weapon.
"One strike ages a person, extracting their life essence..."
Qin Hao played with the simple and unadorned long blade in his hand, a hint of satisfaction flashing through his eyes.
"Haohao, you're finally back!"
As soon as Qin Hao stepped into the courtyard, Shen Suning threw herself at him. When she saw Qin Kexin behind Qin Hao, her face couldn't help but darken:
"Why did you follow him here? I heard from Haohao that the rental period between you two should have ended already."
Hearing this, Qin Hao hastily intervened: "Hey, Shen Suning, we are all family from now on. Let's not hurt our harmony."
Qin Kexin tactfully bowed to Shen Suning:
"Sister Suning, I will obediently listen to your words from now on. If there is anything I did wrong in the past, I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive me."

Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
