As soon as Qin Hao's voice fell, a man whose facial features bore some resemblance to Qin Hao's appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Qin Wuya stared at Qin Hao with a solemn gaze, remaining completely motionless.
Qin Wuya's eyes seemed capable of seeing through the deepest secrets hidden within one's heart. Being stared at like this made Qin Hao feel a wave of guilt. After making eye contact for a few seconds, he averted his gaze.
Qin Wuya slowly raised his head. His eyes seemed to pierce through layers of time and space, beholding an incredibly distant future.
"When you broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, I caught a glimpse of a fragment of the future within the River of Time."
Qin Hao frowned slightly. He saw the future? What does that have to do with me?
What Qin Wuya said next left Qin Hao completely dumbfounded:
"One day in the future, outside our Qin family estate, thousands of fairies will march upon our gates. They will all be women of extraordinary cultivation bases and diverse temperaments—some as aloof as the moon, others as enchanting as fire. These people won't come to offer congratulations, but to collect a debt!"
Listening to Qin Wuya's account, Qin Hao's forehead began to break out in a cold sweat...
He didn't even dare to imagine that scene. Could they all be his clients? Collect a debt? What debt? Did I do something terribly outrageous in the future?
Qin Wuya took a deep look at Qin Hao and said in a deep voice:
"Especially the one leading them. She possesses an Innate Dao Body and wields a peerless immortal sword. Even separated by the River of Time, her gaze couldn't help but make me feel a sense of dread."
Qin Hao felt his throat go dry. Innate Dao Body? Peerless immortal sword? Able to make his Immortal Emperor father feel dread across the River of Time?
Is it Qingyue? No way, could that girl grow to such an extent in the future? Also, what is going on with the thousands of fairies marching upon the gates?
Just as Qin Hao was lamenting, Qin Wuya placed a hand on his shoulder and spoke to him with profound earnestness:
"Little Hao, as a young man, you like to dally with women and fall in love with every one you meet. I can understand that, but you..."
At this point, Qin Wuya let out a faint sigh, then took out a mask from his robes and handed it to Qin Hao:
"I will not interfere with your fortuitous encounters or your future path, but remember one thing! From now on, when you go out, wear this mask, and never broadcast the fact that you are the Imperial Son of the Qin family."
"Otherwise, when the day comes that your myriad romantic tribulations descend upon us, not to mention me, even if all the ancestors in the ancestral shrine woke up together, I'm afraid we would hardly be able to fend them off."
"You are on your own!"
After tossing the mask to Qin Hao, Qin Wuya vanished. Qin Hao suddenly felt the world spin around him. By the time he regained his senses, he had already been sent out of the forbidden grounds and returned to his own mansion.
At this moment, Qin Wuya's words were still echoing in Qin Hao's mind. Thousands of fairies marching upon the gates... just thinking about that scene made him shudder.
"Sys, according to what my cheap dad just said, you're not going to make me flirt with every talented girl in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, are you?"
The system, which had always spoken in an icy tone, suddenly seemed to possess emotions. It spoke to Qin Hao with disdain:
[Hmph, who are you looking down on? The Three Realms and Nine Heavens? How many girls is that? We are going to flirt with the girls of the Myriad Heavens and Realms!]
"Damn~"
Qin Hao was rendered speechless. The Myriad Heavens and Realms? Would he even be able to handle that many?
Sighing helplessly, Qin Hao took out the mirror he carried with him:
"Being too handsome is also a sin."
[System Prompt: Karma is self-invited, and fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Please focus on the present, Host, and strive to improve yourself to cope with the potentially complex client relationships that may arise. New order countdown: Two days and twenty-three hours.]
Qin Hao shook his head, tossing out the chaotic thoughts and scalp-numbing scenes from his mind. His most pressing priority was to consolidate his cultivation base and work hard to improve himself.
Although Qin Hao could receive a portion of returned cultivation when Su Qingyue cultivated, it was ultimately just a small fraction. If he wanted to improve rapidly, he still had to cultivate diligently on his own.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Qin Hao emerged from his deep meditation. A terrifying light burst forth from his eyes, and the aura around him skyrocketed.
"Three days, breaking through three minor realms in a row. I have already reached the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm! Looking across the entire Three Realms and Nine Heavens, probably no one can surpass my cultivation speed."
[Ding, you have a new rental order. Please check it.]
Just as Qin Hao finished his cultivation, the system's control panel popped up in front of him.
Qin Hao clicked on the information panel and began to review the new client's details.
[Client Name: Xia Lingxi]
[Identity: Little Princess of the Great Cang Kingdom in the Southern Region]
[Order Request: Save me, save me!!!]
[Client Rating: Massive Potential (Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart), Current Luck: One Stone (Kingly Luck)]
Seeing the new client's identity as the little princess of the Great Cang Kingdom in the Southern Region, Qin Hao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. Qingyue was also from the Great Cang Kingdom in the Southern Region. Was there something special about this Great Cang Kingdom? How could such a small country, where the strongest expert was only at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, produce two daughters of destiny, Qingyue and Xia Lingxi, one after another?
[The birth of a person with great luck will cause a tide of destiny, thereby giving birth to other children of destiny.]
Hearing the system's explanation, Qin Hao suddenly understood. So, this Xia Lingxi was actually benefiting from Qingyue's light.
Thinking this, Qin Hao clicked the accept order button.
[Ding, congratulations to the Host for successfully accepting the order. You have obtained the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart.]
"Boom—"
An indescribable, strange sensation instantly surged through Qin Hao's entire body. The area around his heart seemed to be illuminated simultaneously by seven stars of different colors, emitting a gentle yet vast seven-colored radiance.
A cool stream of spiritual energy, seemingly capable of illuminating the true essence of all things, gushed out from his heart apertures and rapidly flowed into his limbs and bones.
After integrating the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, Qin Hao's cultivation base broke through once again, reaching the fifth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. He was now just a single step away from the sixth level.
"Is this the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart? It actually elevated my perception once again on top of the foundation of my Dual Pupils, and even granted me the ability to foresee good and bad fortune."
"Let's go. Teleport me to the new client's side."

Southern Region, Great Cang Kingdom, Demonic Beast Forest
Inside a narrow little cave, a young girl curled up into a ball, clutching a jade pendant tightly in her hand.
The light inside the cave was dim, with only a few faint rays of light seeping through the cracks in the rocks.
"Liar!"
Xia Lingxi angrily threw the jade pendant in her hand onto the ground. Perhaps feeling that this alone was not enough to vent her anger, she even stood up and kicked the jade pendant a few times.
"Hmph, what temporary Dao Companion, what solving all kinds of troubles for me? I placed the order three days ago!!! I haven't even seen a single shadow! Liar, liar, big liar!!!"
"Don't let this princess find out who played this prank. Otherwise, once this princess escapes, I will definitely drag you out! I'll let you know the consequences of making a fool out of this princess!"
Xia Lingxi had a pair of standard almond-shaped eyes, the outer corners slightly turned up, naturally carrying a bit of naive charm and noble air.
After venting her frustration, Xia Lingxi squatted on the ground dejectedly and curled back up into a ball:
"Someone, please save me!"
